Hi, with the first rainy days in Italy, I found that my car fills up with water; I was ashtonished not to find fishes in all that water!
In particular, I got it in trunk and A LOT (1 or 2 litres) under rear seats.
Is someone experienced in this?
Thanks!

Not experienced it on my 206 but i'd check the boot and rear window rubbers first if i were you for signs of perishing or poor fitment.

Did you notice if the roof liner was wet?
Depending on where the aerial is check that is well sealed.
But as above it's more than likely the boot rubber.

Did you drive through any rivers lately, in all seriousness though, i used to get water gathering in the foot well of my first car and that turned out to be a rubber grommet missing from under the car, also as stated by PugJH the Aerial seal can be an issue aswell, depends if your aerial is at the front or back of coarse, or if you have a sunroof then check all the seals, apart from that i cant see it being much more else?

Thank you everybody (in particular pug206lx)! After a check it seems that water comes inside from the rear right tail light...
If you notice, all the water (a lot) coming down from roof along the boot gasket goes exactly over tail light. I reinforced the light gasket and add another on that black flap (that probably was engineered for that purpose, but that was unuseful without a gasket).
Checking in the next days, I'll report back soon!
P.S.: my car now smells like a wet dog...
