Hello

I am asking for more advice.

I love my car very much but she is leaking! The door seals are pants and have cracks in them that are letting water onto my seat so I am getting a wet bum & behind the drivers seat.

Any ideas where to get a new door seal & are they hard to fit? Do they still have 3-4 joins in them????!!!

Removal of the terrible stereo. I don't have keys to remove it, would a car hifi centre be able to do it & does the fascia come away with it aswell?

Where's the best place to get cosmetic exhausts?? Or exhausts in general?
I have test driven a few other barch's and they have really throaty exhaust (maybe they needed new ones!!) and mine is quite quiet.

I think thats it for now!!!

Thank you

xx
 
The Rubber seal around the front window is a common problem, I have the same fault with my car and so far i've only found the Fiat dealership that sell this rubber (costs a fortune!) its really easy to fit tho, ive removed mine a few times and tried to position it differently, so now only the passanger side leaks!

The best exhaust is DTR, they sound great! its a bit to far for me tho so i put a custom made stainless exhaust with twin exits made by zorstec, they did a brilliant job! if you live in the north of england check them out.
 
Stereo will come out with a few bits of coat hanger wire in the holes, and a pull from fingers in the tape deck. You can get the proper keys from any car audio place. Small screw drivers will also do it.

A fasica can be bought from Halfords to make a normal after market stereo fit. The part number is: FP-01-01.

Here's an ebay link to one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fiat-Barchetta-stereo-fascia-plate-NEW-FP-01-01-FACIA_W0QQitemZ230055837925QQihZ013QQcategoryZ108815QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hi
I should be getting my hands on the hood left middle window rubber and the right window middle rubber in the next few days, both are new and in mint condition, I will sell them for £40 each. You can only get them from Fiat and you are looking at £65 each !! So save yourself a few quid.

If anyone wants one or both, just drop me an email.

I only have two so once gone thats it.
