This is the area where water seems to be coming from.. right around the bottom of the weather strip , but i see no sign of water from the weater stripping itself.

well... you can try pouring water over certain areas, working your way up the car. depending on where the leak is, it should only take a few seconds before you see water on the inside of the car.

Try dusting the suspected areas with baby powder..then it will be easy to follow the trail to the leak.

hey guys , i found the leak finaly!!! it is the weather stripping ..i already changed this part once but i should have not bought it used. so anyway , now i need a new one , but i do not know where to find it and i dont wana go with the honda dealer because they over charge on everything. the part i need is the weather strip that is ONE THE DOOR not the one on the body. (driver side) if anybody knows a good company to buy this from please send me a link . all i have found is the body strip so far.

thanx , yeah i did notice it was a bit expensive. im just ready to get it fixed so i can move on to the next project, it looks like the car sat a long time with water under the carpet so i have to scrape and sand the floor panel (front and back) then re'prime , paint and maybe put down some dynomat before i can put the new carpet in.
