Wet seat belts

Postby Trendy Dave » Mon Oct 15, 2018 12:41 pm

I've had my 2015 custom a few months now, just recently since the rain has returned i've been suffering with wet seat belts !
Has anyone else had the same problem ?

I'm guessing you have a roof rack or bars fitted,and it's not been sealed right where bolts go into roof captives,
You need to sort this because water is highly likely to track down loom into the bcmii,causing you a bigger issue than wet seat belts.

I had this problem , not wet seatbelts but water leaking in the rear so i unscrewed all the blanks on the roof and put clear silicone in each threaded hole then replaced the blanks and bone dry now :D
