Wet Seat Belt

Post by joe14 »

Hi All,

I got into my car this morning and found that the portion of the seat belt that was wound up in the mechanism was quite wet.
Drivers side only, RHD.

I've tried a quick search but nothing.
Anyone know where this might be coming from? Is there a drain from the sunroof that might be causing this?

Thanks!

Yes posible, the roof drains into the sills, check the tiny drainage holes in your sill.

check this topic: Sunroof or not ??
