Default Rain=passenger floorboard puddle

Long time reader first time poster. I picked up a 92 si a while back as a project but Ive run into a problem. Anytime it rains the car leaks... bad. Ive done alot of research on the subject already but Im starting to run out of ideas and getting a little frustrated. I noticed the passenger side carpet was pretty rough looking after i picked it up so I tore it out to find some surface rust on the floor board. Wasnt too bad so i sanded it and primed it. Windshield had a few decent chips in it so I went ahead and had it replaced. Figured id try to kill two birds with one stone thinking maybe it was the windshield... nope. Found the recall for the body sealer by the hood hinges and fenders. Ground off all the old stuff and slapped on some new body sealer... still leaking... dug around under the dash for a bit and noticed that the drain tubes werent connected for the sun roof.. probably the first thing i shouldve checked anyway.. tried fitting them back into the drain and they werent long enough... maybe they shrunk over the years, I dont know. Cut some new tubing and replaced them. Still no luck. I found the leak guide for the crx which was pretty handy but does anything like that exist for the eg? Anybody have any advice? Im stumped.

If your car has a/c, try leaving the recirc button on.

i had this problem when i ripped stuff out.
take off the windsheild duct (obvisouly unbolt your wipers and take them off)
once you get the duct off have a glass of tea.

once inside you will see a big square on teh psngr side. im sure you could find a leak around there somewhere

could always drill a small drain hole in the floor. you should have one in the trunk already

Did you check the FAQ?
There is a writeup for this leak in the FAQ here and/or in the Integra forum.

There are tubes comming from the tracks in the sunroof, that go down the cpillars, and if bush or leaves clog the tubes, water overflows down c-pillars into cabin. Check by watering your sun roof and checking for drainage on the floor
