Need Help Leak somewhere

A few times now this has happened to me. My driver side seatbelt is soaked the next day after it rains. I;m not sure what's causing this problem but it is annoying because the seat belt is all wet when it's strapped against my chest when i'm driving and worst of all it smells like wet soggy socks. I checked around the window sill to see if maybe there's a hole or leak there but I couldn't find anything. Another reason I thought that might of caused the wet seatbelt was b/c i didn't fully close the window, but it turns out it is fully closed. Has anyone had this problem before, and if they do how do you fix it? I need help b/c lately its been raining everyday and I don't have a garage to park the car. ANy suggestions would be great. thanks.

What specific car do you have? You posted in the CLK forum but your profile shows C32.

Also, if it's a CLK, what year and is it a coupe or cabriolet. The more detailed the info the better someone here might be able to help you.

I'd check all of the rubber weatherstripping around that area if you haven't already.

Good luck.

I would check the drain holes around the sunroof.They are probably backed up.Hit'em with a air compressor and you should be good to go.
