Haha that's kind of funny but not really sorry... Well at least you know to do your research next time for common problems a car has...

Its really a pretty easy fix... Do it yourself, follow the how to and you'll be fine... I used gorilla glue to glue my tube back in.

Re: Water Leakage from Sunroof into Rear of Car and on Seatbelts

Looks like I'm joining the club after 3 years. I had the car in to fix the interior light fuse blowing that someone else mentioned, and about 3 weeks after that we had a hell of a storm, and my seatbelt and floormat was soaked. I hardly have anyone ever ride with me, so maybe it was an issue before and I never noticed it. Dealer wanted $415 bucks to take the headliner down and install something that extended the hose they said. I said screw you. Called GM to try and find a record of the "recall" from a couple of years ago, but looks like it wasn't an offical recall, just a TSB or something. Anyone in KC famielr with this stuff and want to try and help me? Otherwise there is a shop that can do it for about $80.

Edit: I never got the "recall" or Customer satisfaction survey thing in the mail, anyway I could call GM and make a case? Or is it really worth it. It sounds like maybe this wasn't a recall at all, but just a TSB.

i do belive it was a recall but it has since expired and it is now just a TSB

So would you know why I wouldn't have gotten the notice?

Re: Water Leakage from Sunroof into Rear of Car and on Seatbelts

did you buy the car new? maybe GM never found out you bought it (if it was used) maybe it didnt make it to your vehicle for some reason idk

Yea, I bought it brand new in Aug of '07, with 25 miles on it, 15 of which were me on the test drive.

I fixed my passenger side sunroof drainage leak with a little gorilla glue (this stuff is awesome). Tubes just needed to be held together.....plenty of rain since and no leaks. The hook-up is pretty easy to locate after you take the liner down enough on the side.

I found another way to fix this issue, much easier and costs NO money at all! Park with your car nose down hill. A slight downward angle will force the water to not collect in that area and the result is dry seatbelts. Fixed!

Re: Water Leakage from Sunroof into Rear of Car and on Seatbelts

I had the same problem and after taking liner nearly completely out I found that drain holes were clogged. You may be able to spray air blasts into drain holes on door jambs by door hinges. It is a black rubber hole on jambs. Also your drain hoses may be disconnected directly under sun roof but you must remove head liner to get to it. I did it myself and resealed hoses to outlet. No more issues. If you have a lot of leaves or pine needles in your area, I would be willing to bet this is your problem

I'm the newest of newbees. Just bought a used 05 GT sedan, after much research. I even checked this forum, and this particular thread before I bought. My car has no signs of seatbelt wetness, or odors of any kind because I was looking for them when I test drove the car. BUT! I did notice water in the trunk area under the spare tire. Was wondering if this is the same issue. The dealer where I got the car did a nice job cleaning up the moisture, and even painted the unsightly rust spots. It was no doubt a long standing issue with this car. I got a good deal on the price, and the dealer was very helpful, so I'm not complaining. After a trip through the car wash, the interior stayed dry, but the trunk had the fresh wetness back.
