Water intrusion

[rmortka]

Good morning gang, newbie on board, here is my dilemma. I have an '04 and I have water coming in the cabin through the seatbelt retractors in the "C" posts after a rain storm. I have checked the obvious in the door gaskets at the roof line with nothing obvious. I am stumped. Any direction would be deeply appreciated.

Drying out in Jersey.

Do you have the sunroof?

I have a sunroof.

It could be leaking around it and working its way down to the C pillars.

Leaking around the seal on the trim above the “c” pillars, top or the quarter panel and roof, it’s bolted on from underneath, the foam seal probably dried out. Or, drain tube from the moonroof is loose, broken, split etc.

Definitely check the moonroof drain tubes. If those clog or get loose you’ll get water in the cabin

My vote is on the moonroof drains. Seems to be a common problem across all brands of cars and trucks. My father has a Dodge Ram 3500 he uses to pull a 5th wheel and his sunroof is notorious for this problem. He uses a blow gun attachment and an air compressor to blow the drains clear. Not sure if that will work on a panther though.

Also check the body drains beneath the rear door (toward the rear IIRC). That applies for sunroof and non-sunroof cars.

Thank you all for your input, going for the moon roof first. I noticed a small water stain in the headliner on the corner of the moon roof.

Will advise
