Last friday I visited my dealer, he was going to take iT up with the dutch Fiat importer. He foresees a problem since the car was delevered new in Italy, but the warranty is european and the car has been serviced properly.
I will keep you posted....
It took Some effort, But everything is fixed:
My local dealer is a fiat/alfa dealer and does Abarth service. His warranty request was denied. For warranty issues I had to go to one of the 6 official Abarth dealers in Holland. A bit strange since the importer and al the parts used are identical to de Fiat 124... but this was the only way to get everything fixed under warranty.
Eventually (2 days before the factory warranty ended) I went to Wim Prins in Nunspeet, very Nice and cooperative guys. They took care of the issues, replaced the rollover hoops and fitted a new roof. Quite a good service considering they saw the car for the first time..
The new roof has a better tighter fit, so the Abarth looks sharper than ever!
