    I have a 2018 DCSB, after the past two rain storms I have noticed that the seat belt on the drivers side was completely soaked. Today I also noticed a puddle on the rear floor mat behind the driver seat. Has any one else noticed a leak like this or does anyone know of any place this could be coming from ?

    Thanks TW.

    Do you have a sunroof? I mean, if not, the highest point that could touch a seat belt is a door seal.

    I do have a sunroof, and the door seals seem to be good and I do not see any water on the door jams but I also do not see any water on the roof liner. I also had the dealership add in the oem roof rack which could also be a leak point but i do not see anything...

    ...stuff
    Its likely the roof rack. If the dealer installed, it should all be covered under warranty. Bring her in

    Totally the roof rack. Bet you they didn't seal the threads when they installed the rack, and simply bolted it into place.

    They messed up the roof rack install twice I had them re do it. I should have done it my self but I kept bringing it back for those morons to fix. Finally the thing was bolted correctly and the weather seals were flush. If it’s leaking now I’m going to really begin to wonder if they should continue to get my business.

    Without being a rocket scientist I would bet it's your rack. Have someone run a hose and sit in the cab and check it out.
    Unless you want to pay someone else cause there not going to do it for free then bring it back and make um do it right! You know what they say about the third time.:D

    had them fix it, take it all apart and dry it out and put it back together. then when I got it home I made sure they actually cleaned and dried it properly... I hate dealerships... one day I'll find a good one.
