Default Water leak

Hey i'm having trouble finding out where water is leaking in my car. It is in the front. from what i can see it seems to be running down the fire wall. I have a 93 Si so it has a sunroof. I don't know if water is getting in from the sunroof and is leaking down the pillars or what. I was wondering if anyone had this problem before, I don't want to tear everything apart before i get some input. Thanks

UPDATE 05/06/09

well the leak is comeing from the drain tubes from the sun roof. i guess they got a hole i can't tell causethe dash is in the way. so it might of came loose or theres a hole. i was wondering if there is anyway to fix this with out ripping the dash out and if i do can i even get to the dam hoses?

is it water??? if so
I have a 94 si and my roof leaks, first, i would (on a sunny day) sit in your car and have a friend turn on the hose, to see where the leak is comeing from, if it is the roof, i would look at the foam on the top of the windshield, where the roof meets it on the ends, you might have worn out foam, i would also check the rubber strip on the outside of the windshield, around the edge.
on my car the water comes in at the point where the roof meets the windshield, then it runs down the pillars and inbetween the door and the side of the dash, and then to the floor.

how do you clean a clogged sr drain???

My friend 00 Ex did this bad! it was the sunroof drain hoses. take off the side panels and check it. they run all the way to your inside of the fenders and the other two go to the trunk and dump out the rear bumper. their 4 hoses.

Yea, And ill have to ask my friend tomorrow and let you know if the dash has to be taken off. and the dash isn't bad to take off at all. but i seriously don't remember him taking it off for this. i think you just push and guide it down and only take off your fender to make sure its going where it should. it might drain by the motor. ill let you know 4 sure tomorrow. but go ahead and take off your roofing and you'll see the entire sun roof water piping and you can see which one is clogged or whats going on. theirs 4 drainage's. you might get away with disconnecting all 4 lines from the sun roof and blow threw it with your mouth to move the trash in the lines. theirs a clip you can press with ur hand to take the hoses off. easy.

Try this, Get a Hose and wet ONLY the windshield and cowel area. My 92 si coupe Leaks from both sides on the dirve and passenger floor and its from the cowel area.
Theres a bulletin at honda for this. My buddie that works at honda had the same problem with his eg and found this bulletin. Anyway it says that the frame rail behind the fender closest to the door has a section that they missed a weld on. Heres some pics i took of me siliconing the **** out of the ****in thing. Unfortunatly my cowel doesnt sit flush against the windshield and theres a huge gap where water juss pours in. My next step is to by some Sealer **** i seen at canadian tire thats similar to what is used on it.
This **** really pisses me off, so i hope u guys get it figured out.




If you look inside that hole you will see what im talkin about.
