hey guys
im new here but been browsing for a while now -
anyhow today i noticed my 94 2 door civic coupe had water on the passenger side and all the way to the back beahind the passenger seat.

took me about an hour to try and soak up the water. does anyone know exactly where to look and what the problem may be?

thanks in advance

 

did it rain recently?

 

sunroof?...if it rained are you sure you passenger side window was rolled up all the way?

 

it may be the sunroof drain hose.. there are 4 in our hondas'.. two up front two in the rear..

Just a little extension for the OP:

If memory serves me correctly (I might be mixing up cars here) the drains end in the door jam, so when the door is closed it exits through the panels - though I don't know where the rear ones are.

Though I want to say that may not be on a civic...but I'm not sure.

nah for the coupes the rear drains hoses goes through the quarter panel skins and to the back sides where the water exits through a hose that is covered by the rear bumper.. as for the fronts, the hoses travel from the sunroof down the front pillars to the side of the kick panels which exits outside behind your fenders..

 

find the leak in the rubber lining...its probably in the rubber lining. hose down your car and fin dthe leak, and you should be able to fill up the hole with silicone...thats what i did.

 

hey guys thanks for your quick responses -

- it did just rain
-it does have the glass sun roof
-as for teh 4 drain hoses, they me be clogged up? how do i check for that?
-whats this rubber lining that may be leaking? where is it located?

tnx gents

 

ok - i took off the black plastic cover inbetween teh windshield and hood, i found some rust in teh passenger side corner and think this MIGHT be the problemo...i stuffed some silicon there for now and we'll see what happens...
i poured some water down the drain hole on that side (before i plugged it) and i saw it spewing out from sortta behind the ccu area...not sure if the rust i plugged up would let the water go to that area?

 

well ladies and gentlemen
seems that some calking did the trick
i plugged up the rust spot seems to be ok

next question:
i ragged up all the water by hand as much as i could
i then used my wet/dry shop vac and soaked up the acces - i couldnt believe how much more came out
so....
how do i get the carpet all dry now? teh humidity in my car is fogging up all my windows and smells like culo

any suggestions?
thanks in advance

 

my 92 cx used to leak in between the weather stripping by the back glass

 

tight...not enough window sealer i guess? or wear and tear over teh years? buh

 

My rusty '92 VX from WI had rusted through spots under the trim along the top of the car. Filled it with what I had around the house (window chaulking) and that did it! Mine also dripped down close to the ecu and then also near the fuse block on the driver's side. Kinda scary actually...so fixing that was priority one!
