Passenger side front window pillar and seat belt pillar soaked

Hello thanks for using 2CarPros. it sounds like the door seal is leaking or the sunroof. Looking at pictures, does your car have the 2 sunroof set up and did they check to make sure they're sealing correctly? Just an idea, try spraying the car with a hose at certain points and have someone sit inside and watch for a leak if you have it apart already.

I dropped it off at the body shop dealer still there they have a sprinkler system that does the the sunroof and they say it’s not coming from sunroof and they can’t even make it get wet inside yes it’s double sunroof.

Okay, I'm just wondering, does you car have those small vents on the front hood? open up the hood and look up at the top left of the engine compartment, this would be the passenger side. Now i am just going by pictures here, is there a possibility, while driving faster and its raining that water is streaming up threw those vents. This is just an idea since you already have someone trying to find the leak.

Its got vents on side of the hood. there small besides the grill on front end.

How would water travel inside though through pillars?

Looks like this or little smaller.

Okay, it found something. Buick has supposedly 7 recalls for water leaks on these vehicles. You may want to take the blower motor out , under the passenger side dashboard, and check for water as well. These can fill up with water and cause the blower motor to fail as well. Now, "they think" it's coming in either the sunroof or from underneath the vehicle. But I would check the blower just to make sure it's not sitting in a puddle of water as well. It comes out pretty easy.

Also check that the A/C drain hose is not clogged. It should be visible under the car on the passenger side. This may also be an issue. Try to stick something in the A/C drain hose and makes sure it's not clogged. I know this doesn't have to do with the leak from the upper passenger side but it's worth checking. This is also a picture I found from the Buick recall for water leaks.

The recalls was on the other models. only recall mine has seat belt tensioner anchor.

They can’t even make it leak at dealer. been at it since 8:00 this morning still there trying to figure it out.

It’s dry in main back.

There is an updated seal for the sunroof. This may be the issue while driving, since air is pushing on those seals at higher speeds.

This may be an issue for a dealer to look at and diagnose. Not a body shop. The dealer will have the correct technical service bulletins.

It’s at the dealer body shop.

That’s where the regular dealer sent me.

Well if it's a design flaw, like the chassis not being sealed correctly or a bad sunroof seal, it's something they will have to repair. There is a lot of these cars doing the same thing. I'm trying to find as much information as I can for you.

Thanks, I’ll take whatever ever information you have. but recalls has only one nothing to do with leak. it’s wet even when not driving. if that helps too.

There's information about windshields not being properly installed, drain hoses for the sunroof that are too short and should be updated, creating a water leak into the sunroof tracks. An updated sunroof seal, and something about the drain hoses not being straight, having a drop causing water to back up and puddle.

If they really can't find anything, I would focus on those drain hoses. I'm so sorry this is such a bad issue. It's frustrating a lot of people.

The hoses are fine. the recalls for them to have extension added to line ended in 2009 and windshield. I do have a lot of fog or moisture whatever you call it on the inside on passenger side on the the edge of glass has white specs kinda like air bubbles but really don’t think it’s it.

This is what I found about the drains:"The rear drain tubes have to routed above a head curtain air bag bracket so they won't have loop allowing water to lay in the tube instead of draining out. All of the early cars, the tubes were not routed correctly." I will keep looking for more information.

There might drain tube extensions that need to be installed. "Subject: 08207- Sunroof Water Leak - Install Drain Tube Extensions

Just got off phone with them. it's not sunroof, A/C line is clear, blower motor is clear, but on the fuse panel side its dripping on box and both sides of carpet is soaked. they think it's a body seem, but still looking at it.

Well at least they're getting somewhere, you definitely want to get any water leaks on to the fuse panel fixed ASAP. That can cause a number of strange issues, even so far as the car stays running after you shut if off because of an electrical short. So is there leaks on the driver's side as well?

No it’s running over to other side but he can't pin point exactly yet cause it is not a constant drip. so on he moved the sprinkler system on the windshield and go from there tomorrow. still trying to figure out .

Yeah, the water is puddling up somewhere and the vehicle movement while driving is causing it to finally leak out. Well let us know what else they find. We'll help out as much as we can. If I find anymore info, I'll post it for you. But ask the dealer what they think about installing those extension tubes, I'm guessing in may be leaking in more than one spot.
