Hi ASR
I can make some to fit that. Do you just need drainage pipes in the central area where it drops down. Do you have any problems on the sides.
Cheers PaulandChrissy
Hi, the sides don’t have a problem because rain runs down and off the sides ok. The middle bit is the area that fills up. Not a great design by Burstner. I think I’d only need 1 that could go just to the side of the metal bracket. There‘s enough space to get something in the low part without having to drill through the metal then. (y)

Excellent thanks. No particular rush though. I’ve had the van 5 years and not got round to doing anything yet! Just too lazy really! :giggle:

Fitted mine a couple of days ago. (y) There’s a low part right in the middle that collects water. Burstner appeared to no be too worried about it but it’s a simple fix with a superb 3D printed kit.(y)

Hi Everyone
I have been working on a solution to overcome the problem of water accumulating around the base of the windscreen on X250 Fiat Ducato’s. I’m preparing a home made 3D printed kit of drainage pipe fittings complete with suitable hosing. All you will need to fit it all are drills and silicone sealant. Final testing should be finished in about a week. If anyone is interested in my solution, please let me know.View attachment 452738
Can you tell me which years the x250 is for thx

You really don’t need it on that year. The only place it leaks is from around the heating intake ductwork. You need this.

Hi Paul
I've recently bought first MH Autotrail Tracker
I've noticed the water problem so I've ordered your kit which I'm looking forward to fitting.
There is also a large drain hole around 25mm in the centre section on the drivers side
There is no pipe underneath on mine, I'm assuming there should be?
Do you know what I need there please?

Best to tag PaulandChrissy if you want him to reply.

Edit: to "tag" someone, put @ immediately before their forum name. As you start to type, a drop-down list of names appears, from which you can select the right one.

Hi there
you should have a Pipe like this coming from that hole. It’s a Fiat only part. Just give Them a call. I’m sure they will know what you are referring to. What’s the year of your van.

2011 that whole pipe is missing.
Do you think I should go back to the dealer for that?
Thanks

Have you got a picture of the front of your van with the bonnet open.

Are these kits still available? If so I’d like a set please.
Hi Stewen.
I still make them. Here’s a link to my blog to help you with which items fit your van. Let me know which you need. If you are unsure, let me know.
Cheers PaulandChrissy
