If this turns out to be the cause of Wet Belt Syndrome, you will make a lot of people happy. Thanks for sharing. :tiphat:

A picture or three would be helpful.

You have to have a minimum of 10 posts to upload pictures without moderator approval. Also, if you upload them to the forum (using the Manage Attachments link), there is a maximum size allowed. External image hosting sites are often a good workaround. If you have a link to pictures hosted elsewhere, you can post it here using the [IMG][/IMG] tag.

Wet Seatbelt Cause Discovered
 
1 Attachment(s)
After 3 trips to the dealer, My Nissan dealer could not figure this out. I discovered the issue and and took it back for a 4th time. The panel that runs above the window, from the windshield to the back window, has clips holding it in place. Those clips have a rubber seal where they meet the chassis. That rubber either deteriorates or distorts to allow water underneath. That is the cause of the wet set belts. I had my Nissan dealer replace both panels AND the clips, AND reinforce the rubber barrier, and so far, no wet set belt. Picture attached.

Those 2 plugs are what house the wiring going from the interior of the car to the back window for the window defroster, and were NOT the cause of my seat belts getting wet. (See Above Post)

I'm not discounting any of the theories in this thread, but I've had a wet seatbelt once (2016 car) and I'm pretty sure that I'd shut the door on a small part of the belt, which hadn't retracted properly. It rained quite hard, the belt got wet and the water wicked through a large area of the belt. Of course, in a lot of cases the wet belt will retract as soon as you open the door, so you won't know it's been trapped.

Ever since then I've been careful to make sure the seatbelt doesn't get trapped in the door and the problem hasn't recurred.

I am NOT saying there couldn't be another issue - just letting you know what happened to me.

Look like 2016 have a problem

Nixin 04-12-2017 07:22 AM

Just an FYI, what this thread is dealing with is every time it rains, the seat belts (inside the car in their normal position) get wet.

I do apologise - I'll shut up then. Maybe in future I could pm my posts to you, in advance, for approval?
