Default wet carpets

Help, the floor on the drivers side [03 civic 2door] gets soaked after a good rain fall. I've caulked the front window, but the water still gets in somewhere. has anyone else had this problem?

have you done anything to the car? You should hose down the car and have someone inside to see where the water is coming from

You can give the a/c drain tube a quick shot of compressed air and if it is clogged it will then dump a lot of water on the ground.

whats up man. i have 05 civic coupe but i have a 95 accord 2 door too... that i have had to replace the whole interior rug because of this fantom leak... after removing the rug i grabed one of those huge 5 gallon bucket and with the door open i poured the water down the glass (because water is supposed to go through the door) and the water came from the lower part of the door panel because i had a leak in the linning of the door and a small stream of water came in the cabin. to fix it i cut a huge trashbag up and replaced the whole plastic linning and stuck it on with a hot glue gun. hope that helps.

Yahoo, I found the leak,I checked the AC drain line, and it was clear of any obstructions, I then used I Dragonmyst42' idea using the 5gallon pail, and poured it over the windshield, and low and behold I could see under the dash where the water was coming in. I just filled the small hole with caulking, now I'm crossing my fingers hoping that I saeled it properly once and for all.

A big "THANK-YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO RESPONDED TO MY WET CARPET PROBLEM".
