W123 (Water getting in)

[samuelsmiles]

Hi, my W123 is getting rain water inside.

I've taped around the sunroof to rule this out as the source. The area it comes in is down where the seatbelts are attached (B pillar) and the seatbelts get really wet after heavy rain.

Would the front windscreen seal be the next thing to check?

Many thanks, Chris

If your seat belts are wet then you have to look at where water can get into the B pillar as the reel is bolted to the inside of the b pillar above floor level.

Door Seals? Holes in the Sills?

Thank you.

I assumed the seat belt mechanism would be mounted near the top of the b-pillar. I'll try to get the covering panel off in the morning and check it over.
