General Water in Boot

[W00dward]

A few days after the heavy rain last week there was a rotton smell coming from the left side (the side with the light) of the boot. I have also found water in the wheel well. I have phoned my dealer who has booked it in for the 17th and he will have a look at it.

I have a 5 door Stilo. Has anyone else had similar problems?

Thanks

Usually comes through rear tailgate handle, rear lights or fiat have sealed up the drain holes behing the bumber on back panel

Thanks.

I have just had a look and the rear light fitting isn't flush with the body and water could go into the boot. I'll get them to check that.

I had exactly yhr same problem.

The dealer sealed up all around the tailgate area, they had the car for three days to strip down all the rear, remove the bumper and seal in behind it.
