    Hi guys,

    I havent introduced myself and I will later but I need to fix a problem ASAP. I live in Vancouver and right now its raining super hard.

    My driver side seatbelt is wet and I see it is leaking from the top liner. I see it also dripping down into my driver side rear liner above the wheel well, there is a cup holder there so it was filled up with water. Can anyone help me fix this problem?

    What I think is the drain from the sunroof is clogged, I know there are 2 holes at the front of the sunroof but that does not connect to the problem I have. Im guessing there are 2 holes at the back of the sunroof that is not accessible that runs through my problem. I see that the drain tube is behind my Jack in the rear but I need to access from where the water comes out and poke it through with a weed whacker wire.

    Anyone have other solutions? I really do not want to take out my head liner as its only on one side of the car

    Thanks

    Can also check the bolts for the roof rails.

    I have checked, I changed my roof rack to a trd pro roof rack in August, since then there were rain storms as well and no problem till now.

    Honestly even more so I would check if I touched it.

    But I'm pretty sure someone will chime in. I do not believe you need to remove the headliner for the sunroof drain. I don't have one so I don't know exactly where it is.

    The roof rack change seems to me to be the primary thing to investigate. If there's a problem with the seal, it could be been leaking for longer than you think, just not in a way that's evident in the cabin.

    An UPDATE:

    It was the rack, it pooled water and also created condensation, I had to take off the roof liner and dry it all out, it was a long semi difficult process (7hours) Hopefully it solved everything
