Default Water leaking just behind glove department

I just want to know if any DA owners ever had water leaking behind the glove department. Usually after a rain storm, a small amount of water would gush through behind the passenger glove department. Now that it is winter, I warmed up my car and heard, what I think would be ice clinking around and water gushing out. Any DA owners ever have this problem and how would you fix it? I don't drive my car often enough in the winter to keep the car warm enough not to form ice.

have you checked the firewall in the engine bay? maybe there's a seal that's missing or bad on the firewall?

It's the seals under the cowl trim. This has been well documented. Check on here or on g2ic.com

among all other things, often times this ends up being the heater core.

I used just about a whole tube of honda bond in the open area under the cowling. Be sure to seal up the cowling in the immediate area with more honda bond. You won't be able to see much into the gaping hole or inlet for the a/c - heater so you'll have to feel your way around the area. just apply the stuff liberally.
