Fiat doors

Sadly it seems that they're built but fixes are for others to pay for.... I would thinking this is known, even if you don't know, insurance companies can resist a claim?

Let's hope they sort,  with the fix or by modifying the lock, before selling more 🤞

Oh gosh must come back to earth 🌎.........

Edit do you know the model/year(s) of manufacture?

If they want to access your vehicle they will do so, no matter what damage they cause. I'd have though that Fiat was no more vulnerable than any other manufacturer.

It's all Sevel vans, not just Fiat.

Like caravans, MHs can never be considered secure if they have acrylic easy to open windows.

Anybody tried these LINK to deter window access?

Rear doors are also very vulnerable on PVC, I use these LINK

At my place of work we have Fiat Ducaro vans  ,we had a van stolen from outside a guys house at 12.30 am taken without any damage to door locks ,alarm did not go off . looking at cctv they was 45 seconds after gaining entry to driving off . we found the van via tracker early sunday morning with door cut open by a grinder and all tools stolen .. dont think putting a cover around locks is going to deter them ..

All you can do is make it more difficulkt to take away ie visible steering locks etc .

Yes, you’re right. Once in it seems the van immobiliser/alarm is easily disabled and engine started via ODB port. Tools in vehicles are a particular attraction, hopefully they’d be less inclined to damage a MH unless the plan was to break it? Good to hear the tracker did it’s job. A lot of folks aren’t keen on them, but I wouldn’t be without one. An immediate SMS alert triggered by vibration or movement could potentially have changed the outcome.
