500 Cabrio: We found this broken part in the boot (middle, near the lock) when opening it.
Colour is fairly but not exactly similar to the roof and spoiler (see avatar photo). Size is around 1 inch in length.
Checking all the openings around the roof edges in various opening positions (as far as possible without dismantling it) did not show any missing pieces. I also took the felt cover off the boot lid and the "shelf" in the rear, nothing seems to be amiss.
Fiat dealer said they don´t know the part.
Since the car is relatively new and we opened the roof only a couple of times recently in the first early warm days of spring, we still suspect it may come from the innards of the roof and mechanics, since we have no idea how else it should have made its way into the boot. Roof is operating ok, though.
Any ideas on this ?
