Newbie Tipo driver

Good morning all,
Im Skez, I'm a virgo and like long walks on the beach and making models from milk bottle top. Oops wrong forum.

I drive a 2019 silver Fiat Tipo Easy with the street pack. I think the street pack just makes it stand out a little. No major issues since ownership, just water in the boot which I sorted.

So hopefully I can tap into all the knowledge and expertise on the site.

Welcome! Sometimes milk bottle caps come in handy for fixing fiats!

I had a friend who did similar when speaking live to conferences for work, only he would use the intro for an AA meeting (Alcoholics Anonymous) by mistake.

Welcome to the forum.
Please tell us about the water in the boot as others have recently been asking if anyone has ideas on how to sort this issue.

I found water in my spare wheel well, which didn't appear to be coming from above, I removed the boot lining and plastic trim from the rear tail gate. Once removed you'll find 6 holes in the inner chassis, if you put your figures in you'll find water sat in the pockets, I got a bottle of water and poured it into the pockets and found the water was coming out from under the bumper.
I found that the water was coming up while driving in wet conditions, I couldn't figure out how to remove the bumper so I ordered 50mm square box section end caps and fitted them in the holes behind the plastic, the water still enters the pockets while driving but drains back out again. I also had to replace the plastic fixings for the plastic trim with a bolt and rubber washer. I will try and take some pictures.

Brilliant it may well hel some of the other fellow sufferers. The latter Fiats were designed in house and the Bravo 198 for example was designed in a staggeringly short time. These sorts of things seem to have been the result. I suppose in Italys drier climate it didnt show its self. Im please you have resolved it.
