Guys and Gals,

I think this is a stupid question but willing to get flamed.

Last night drove home in the pouring rain, noticed that water was collecting on the driver side in my hatch. I don't have any carpet thankfully but I was wonder where the hell it was coming from since none of my seats are wet.

So here are the possible causes for the leak.

Fenders don't have any lining
JDM doors not making a proper seal with the hatch (weather stripping)

Open to any other suggestions.

Thanks HT team!

 

plug hole(s) on your passenger side firewall -check those

"1st go to Acura or Honda and order qty 8 of part number 91608-SJ6-003. It is a small white rubber seal. They cost about $ 2.50 each 2nd remove the wiper arms and the wiper motor cowl. The wiper cowl is the long black panel under the wiper arms. Pop out the black circles and unscrew the white clips. You may also have to pull out the plastic pins under the rubber seal on the firewall side of the cowl. The panel is cumbersome. Use caution not to break the ends near the hood hinges. After you remove the cover there is another black cowl on the passenger side. This cowl covers the passenger cabin air intake. The leak is coming from the black plastic push screws that hold that cover on. When you remove the cover you can see the seals in the holes that the push screws were in. The rubber seal dry-rots over time and the sides split open. Water leaks in one drop at a time and adds up quickly. Once you have replaced the seals you should be leak free for another 9-10 years"

 

Sit in the car, have a friend hose it down with a lot of water and inspect the insides to see where the water is getting in at.

 

thanks guys :-)

 

I have the same problem, there are a lot of holes that go directly outside out of your floor, and with driing in the rain, they actually come up into your car, which sucks, but hey.... better water then to be in negitive degree weather in wisconsin with no carpet or interior, all I got is my dash
