Technical Scuttle panel seal (sponge) part?

[Mikeldn88]

Guys, (My 2008 GP Eleganza).
Found the remnants of what looks like a puddle under my passenger seat. Appears to be a vent under each front seat.

My guess is the drain tubes under the scuttle panel was blocked.
- The driver side tube I cleared a few years back so it must had help stop the water pooling.
- The passenger side tube that directs the water away from the brake cylinder was full of mud. I removed the pipe and gave it a good cleaning.

I emptied a bottle of water and the tubes are now free flowing.
I notice another issue that will eventually (if it hasn't already), create electrical issues. There is a soft rubber sponge like material on the each side of the scuttle panel that is suppose to push the water into the scuttle panel holes. Mine look so worn that the water is flower past and drips onto my loom be the fuse box.

I'd like to get these two sponges replaced. Anyone have an idea what these are called, and possible the part numbers? I may get the old silicon tube out for temporary fix.
Picture below so you know what I'm on about.

Thanks

They are called: ePER database (top menu/bar).
https://eper.fiatforum.com/en/Drawings/Detail/F/F/FPUN/4C/701/1/ALL/0/SubGroup - items numbered "12" (Right and Left hand side).
Depending on country, those can be expensive (for a piece of foam).
You don't need them. Instead you can put there a longer seal/gasket, universal "edge trim T8" or something like that.

You don't remove the foam/sponge completely. Remains should stay in the fender section (most of the time they are OK in this area).

Mind the screws etc. New seal may need a little tweaking...

There will be initial lack of contact in the altered areas (ends of the new longer seal), but that's OK.

It will get better with time. And no problems in the engine bay, fuse box etc.

There you go. Alternative to the sponges. Not the best way, but good enough ("stage 1" let's say - there is room for improvement).

You are an absolute legend.

The scuttle seal I have is hanging on for dear life. Your solution will solve 2 issues.

Will measure the current seal as I can't see T8 on the fleabay searches

Thanks for replying
