Hi All,

Very unusual problem. The seatbelt on the rear passenger side seems to have
salt on it. It appears at the base of the seat belt and looks as though the
seatbelt was soaked in a saltwater solution and then left to dry. Thus
leaving a very concentrated salt residue on the seat belt.

Any ideas?

thanks,

PS

I looked, this is not in the manual lol

A very sweaty passenger?

Do they put salt on the roads in winter in your area?

yes, they put salt on the roads.

Is it possible that the salt is making it's way up through the car?

Thanks,

That seems unlikely. Is there any salt on the other rear seat belt or
anywhere else in the car?
Do you actually know that it's salt -- i.e., NaCl?

Having driven my 91 Civic in hot weather and shirtless, my guess is that it
is the salt and minerals left over from dried sweat. If you are not the one
who normally wears that seatbelt, then I shudder at the thought of your
informal taste test. Have you been driving around gym rats?

No, in fact the rear seat is rarly used. Took it to the dealer today, they
are going to replace the seatbelt, and then i guess we'll see if it occurs
again.
