    Suicide owner...need help!

    Hi everyone, I bought a 1958 500N about 7 months ago and found a couple part suppliers. ..I'm new to this tiny car stuff and need a little help knowing what model years interchange. ..so I just don't ramble on it will make it less confusing if I just made a list of what I need to replace.

    Complete wiper system, mine was rusted and all the plastic cracked and broken...what other models will interchange with mine?...my car is left hand drive.
    My car was missing door seals so I'm not sure if the seal goes on the door or the body. ..all the places that have seals say it won't work on suicide model...what to do now?

    All the rubber on the car had to be removed with a screwdriver and a hammer, this included both vent windows, they were completely rusted bad!...I'm not reinstalling the vent windows. ..I will just install fixed glass. ..this car has been sitting since 1981, and besides the fossilized rubber there wasn't any rust around any window's, not even bubbled paint...like super clean.

    I hope someone here can answer my questions cuz I'm almost at the paint stage and trying to gather up needed parts...thanks for your help.

    Congrats on the new old ride, and welcome to the forum!

    There are a few vendors in the US that specialize in old FIATs, so you should probably talk to them. Midwest Bayless in Columbus Ohio might be a good place to start.

        Midwest Bayless has tiny selection of 500 parts. ..they don't have door seals or wiper assembly.
