Wet Seatbelt

[Brownmoney]

This is my first post ever on a forum(dont like to type). I come here a lot to just read. Well i got my new truck a little over a month ago and love it. I have 900 miles on it so far. Yesterday we had a storm come through and when i went to use the seatbelt, the part that is coiled up inside was very wet(wet enough to feel through the shirt i was wearing), no other belts were wet. Has anybody seen this before. The only thing i could think of was the seal beetween the 2 doors.(its a crewmax). No windows were open, or the sunroof . Nothing inside was wet at all. I dont drive my truck to work(justs sits at home all day). I drive a work van(plumber).

Wow for a guy that doesn't like to write you sure wrote up a storm! Welcome to the forum! I gotta say as a plumber you should know how to trace a leak, but if I were you I would take it to the dealer and have them check it. Beautiful truck BTW!

Nice for a "CHUBBY MAN" (CM) truck. Welcome and good luck with that.

Wet seat belts... That's a new one. Sure the window wasn't open a crack and water leaked in?

Maybe door seal was bad/installed wrong. Have the dealer check it out.

Congrats on the CM, good stuff.

well i think i found the problem. the seal is warped on the drivers side. i took pictures to show what im talking about.

Shouldn't be upset at yourself. The truck shouldn't scratch that easy.

Did it scratch it to the primer?
