Hi folks,
The only hint I've found for a similar problem is this one: https://www.fiatforum.com/bravo/442714-water-leak.html?442714=#post4200171
Problem is that tracing a damp smell led me to discover both rear seat wells full of water, with associated soggy damping panel and seats. Removed and dried the wet bits, but left them out just in case... which was just as well, as the fault recurred after the car had been standing overnight in middling/heavy rain. On the drive, the care is nose-down by maybe a foot.
There were visible water tracks down the rear-left panelwork at the side of the seat back; the seatbelt was damp, and there were drops appearing from the seatbelt slot.
Which all rather rules out the obvious - leaky seal around the tank access or doors - since the car's not moving.
I'm looking at the aerial - which seems to be sealed but I can't see how to access it (and the roof panel is dry to the touch) - and the seal at the side of the boot aperture: there's a spot-welded joint with some sealant over it which looks a bit dodgy.
1) any other places I might look?
2) how do the side panels come off?
Thanks,
Neil
