Wet seat belts?

My GE Fit Sport has about 2K on the odometer, and my seatbelts are noticeably damp if it's outside in even a minor rain. I'm assuming this isn't normal? Anything I should know when going into the dealer?

Is it me that does not understand English properly or do you say you have the seatbelts outside? They are ment to be inside the car and I dont think they are waterproof ...

OR do you mean that if it was even a minor rain outside the seatbelts inside the car get noticeably damp? If so there are probably a leak somewhere and you need to take it to the dealer.

Yeah, I'll take it in Monday or during the next big rain. I've had two seperate people say they've noticed the wet belts, and yeah, not cool

Don't say that My g/f already managed to chip the door, and that would be just my luck

Yes definitely take it back to the dealership to have it checked out. Should not be damp on the inside. I had an RS Cavalier Wagon that was brand new and we had a really hard rain. I started off to work that morning and heard water sloshing around. Once I got to work pulled up the carpet in the back which was damp and found about 1 1/2 inches of water inside the spare tire well. There was leak in the rubber around the back hatch. They gave me a Caprice to drive as a loaner and kept the car for a week to make sure it was properly repaired . Then they cleaned the carpets in the cargo space and even gave it a wax job for me. The car was black and the only time it looked great was freshly waxed so that was pretty nice.

Sorry mate, just had to let it out

Anyhow speaking of wetness, does anyone notice there is some rusty water stream coming from the front side windows, rear quarter windows, and door handles after it rains? It's very werid especially for a '09 fit.......
