my passenger side seatbelt is getting wet somehow when we have heavy rain, i though at first it was coming through the rear window rubber but then i remembered it dosnt have a gap between the outer and inner panel so no water can come though there

its getting wet when it fully rolled up behind the panel, theres no holes in the inner arches or anything

Water getting behind the rear quarter b pillar vent? or running inside the rear glass and dripping inside the rear wings?

no sunroof, i dont know if it can com from the glass because if water came in behind the glass it wouldnt get near the seatbelt once its rolled up

Well it's running down from somewhere and dripping on to it. Best bet is to look around joins above the location of the seatbelt. Maybe running down from the inside of the roof skin?

It will be the rear quarter window I bet. I had this on a Nova I had years ago as it had a new aftermarket quarter fitted and it wasnt a perfect fit so it leaked.

I had a Nova that leaked at the window corner directly above the seatbelt.

Take the interior rear 1/4 side trim off & get someone to soak the car with a hose, you sit in & see................ simples.
