Default EF Sedan- Are there any known problems with water leakage into the cabin?

I know with DA Integras there are a few grommets that are known to dry rot and allow water into the cabin. I was wondering if anyone knows of similar problems with EF's. Ive got a musty smell in my 91 LX, and its bugging the **** out of me. I searched (skimmed) but didnt find anything. Any help is appreciated!!!

yeah, the windscreen problem shouldnt be one, as it has a new windshield in it. I'm wondering if water is somehow making its way in through the blower motor intake. Anybody else have any input?

I have the same problem. I suspect it might be my passenger door weather stripping or my windscreen molding [glass shop did a shoddy install]

-Bump for answers

do you have a sunroof? If you do then it could be that the drain tubes are clogged

All four 88-91's I've had leaked around the windshield due to being poorly installed. When cutting out the old one, installers have a tendency to scratch the frame, and then rust starts. Check in the two corners at the top, under the trim piece.

Here's a severe example:
