These lovely little vinyl flaps extend below my Spider's rear, side windows, and one of them was torn at the seam. A friend had some convertible top repair tape that did a magnificent job of repairing the watchamightcallit's seam, and also patched a 'chewed' area of the flap. Now, both of my Spider's watchamightcallit's look great!
I found a number of items in the recesses of the trunk,...a handful of shotgun shot (not pictured), this single 'jax', and this brass item (unmistakably Fiat,...), that I believe held down the spare.
It had fallen into a tight spot, and was jamming one of the rear bumper pistons, keeping the bumper from aligning correctly. Nice to have it outta there! Anybody want it?
Todd.

So,...what's the solid brass wingnut from? Kinda cool.
Looks VERY Fiat-like to me.
