I have recently discovered that when it rains I have water that leaks in along my a pillar on the driver's side. It first starts appearing by the window of the door below the air bag sign and gradually spreads from there. After discovering the leak the windshield has been replaced twice, and the sunroof drains have been checked twice and stated to be functioning properly. Any ideas as to what may be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

I would remove the Roof Liner Assembly along with all the pillars trims. And have someone take a garden hose and wet the outside windshield and around the pillar where the seal is. While sitting inside with a flashlight looking at suspect area's where you think its leaking. mostly at the corner of the inside of the windshield. I bet it would be leaking behind there. I have this same problem on my car. And even found out when washing it to. Also when you remove the pillar you probably have to replace it because I found my Interior Insulator damaged from the water that got to it.

Thanks. I will have to see about doing this. I have had the windshield replaced twice in the last month to fix the problem. Is there something else that needs to be done in order to stop this?

Can possibly be due to a leak in the roof molding channel.

That's very interesting I always thought it could be possible that it could leak at the chassis seam But didn't believe it. guess Honda been knowing about it for awhile. After just reading the TSB on it. Thanks for the information didn't really think it could leak from there. But since its just Auto Body sealer I guess that stuff gets old from the heat and cold of the elements plus just Driving it. I look it to this.

Wow, I thought my girlfriend was crazy. She was driving my car a couple weeks ago and told me that there was water coming in at that exact spot, I just blew it off after I got to drive it thennext time it rained and I didn't see anything. I'llhhave to look up that TSB, plus I have to look at my weather stripping. Always sounds like the window is cracked just a bit when I'm driving.

Yea the TSB explains everything on how to fix the Roof chassis leak. I checked and found under my roof trim molding looks like a very small seam at least paper thin. I even put a strip of paper to see if it would go down inside the car. And it did. i removed the paper. And will be following the instructions carefully to fix the issue
