- BB sprung a leak!
I'm very much not a mechanic, but I decided to investigate a water leak and post my results.
After finding water under the glove compartment after rainfall, I thought the water may be finding its way in via a clogged drain under the hood. What follows are the steps I took to determine and then fix the issue.
If you have any tips and suggestions, let me know in the comments below!

Thank you very much for sharing your big brain with the world. Brilliant and tenacious!
Having watched you do this job, it took me 20 minutes to do mine. Many thanks. Shame you're across the ocean I woulda paid for a couple of beers! Thanks once again, mine is now free from all that debris!
Glad to hear, cheers 🍻
Thank you SO much for posting this! I could not figure out the wet carpet in my 500. This fixed it.
That’s awesome to hear! So glad this helped!
This was SUPER helpful thank you. I had the same problem but on my drivers side. This makes so much sense. thank you
Great video and good editing.
It was fun to watch. Thank you.
Thanks for this! I have a 500 and I think mine has the same issue. This video has given me a good idea on what to do about it now.
Awesome, glad it helped. LMK if you get it solved!
Great video! I used a compressor with a long stem to blow the debris through the hole without having to take off the cowel. It just empties into the engine compartment. Also on my 2013 500 POP you can see the 2 channels, one left one right, protruding into the engine compartment so having a clothes dryer lint brush you could even clean them out from that side. Too bad there's no way to post the pics I took.
Great video! Just found a pool of water in my fiat as well and this really helps! Thank you for sharing!!
So glad it helped!!
Good video. Just one minor point, remember to reconnect the hose that carries the windscreen wiper fluid to the spray nozzles before clipping the cover back into place.
You made my day today.
Thank You so much!

Mines full of crap too, but I poured a bucket of water through the cowling and it came pouring out the bottom of the car. I think I am ok, and I think it’s alright if stuff collects there, but if it gets blocked look out!
Great video, I was thinking it was my window seal that had blown.
I found on my 2015 model ,that you don't have to remove anything, the drainers have a massive hole you can get to from underneath ,I just pulled the blockage out.
Thank you, sis!! Im going to take care of the issue now
awesome, I hope it helped!
Very very important
I think this must be the problem with ours! I will try to fix soon. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this video 📸🙂
I agree with Roxana!
Brilliant video
This helped out alot, thank you.
Thanks for sharing. Excellent video! :-)
Hello, thanks for your video, it was useful to disassemble the plastic piece along the window (sorry for my english!). But I did not find a solution for my problem. On my Fiat 500, I found that the pieces looking like "little black upside down bowl" that we can see at 2:36, are missing on left and right side of the car (maybe never assembled?)Would somedoby know what they are made for? Could this missing piece explain water behind the driver seat (below left passenger feet) and some water on the left side of driver carpet? Thanks for your help.
After some research, it looks like these devices are the high side of shock absorbers, then the lack of caps are probably not the cause of my problem.
Being self sufficient is sexy baby ;O) That's one of the reasons grandpa was married for 40+ years. Hmmm, now how to invest all that cash we are saving.....
Great video well done 🚗👍
Great video thankyou 💯
Thank you!
Are there 2 holes/drains in that reservoir?
Hi got the same problem. Did it work. We had lots of rain and my fiat is like a dam.
I have a issue but it's the water is leaking into the footwell behind the driver seat in fiat Punto evo.i will try this and see if it helps. Thank you!
Did ya figure this one out?
Tks!! :-D
Wet carpets are standard in a Fiat 500 unfortunately.
I must be the exception to your thought process, I’ve owned my 2012 Fiat since new and it does not have wet carpets.
