Rear shoulder belts are wet.
I have a 06 that that the rear shoulder seat belts are coming out wet. It does have a sun roof. Any clues where to look for a leak??? Is there drains for the sun roof in the rear pillars?

Sorry for digging up an old thread but i haven't been able to figure out a solution to this issue that the OP posted... for me it's just the rear passenger side seatbelt that is wet after a storm.. Any other ideas?
Same setup 06 w/ sunroof...

I just discovered this very same problem on my (new to me) 06 (no sunroof though, so consider that). Anyhow, I may have solved this, as it's been pouring all day today (yeah, spring/summer in FL -- go figure).
Anyhow, in my case, I pulled back the rubber door moulding at the rear upper corner of the rear passenger door just above where the seatbelt is mounted. You'll see a small hole that a "pin" in the moulding fits into (when you pull this back, be careful, you don't want to break the pin off). Since this appeared to be about the only place for water to get in at that location, I took some silicon sealant and forced some under the rubber piece you'll see, and also in a small gap between the roof panel and the quarter panel. I also put some down into the hole, before putting the moulding pin back in and putting it all back together. Note when you do this that the moulding also fits onto the roof panel, as there's a "slot" moulded into the back of it.
One thing I considered is that once the silicon in the hole cured, the moulding was not coming back out without a fight (and likely without the pin attached), but it was a calculate risk on my part.
I know the description was a bit hard to follow, but if you need more, let me know.
Good luck.
