Default Water leak in driver floorboard is driving me INSANE!!!! 94 accord EX coupe

I can't find it for the life of me. I've replaced the door vapor barrier, checked the door seals, inspected underneath the cowl, inspected the windshield seal, and I can't find it or stop it. I tried putting the garden hose on all parts of the car...i've tried sitting in the car for over 30 minutes in a torrential downpour, but nothing! Not one drop.

After heavy rains, I have about a 50/50 chance of coming back to my driver side floorboard turned into a fishtank. I took the carpet out, so that's not a problem. BUT I NEED TO GET THIS FIXED.

If anyone can help, I'd love it. I'm about ready to take a sludge hammer and smash this POS honda. Thanks

It's not the A/C. I've driven for over an hour with it on, and I never saw any water.

It only leaks when it rains. Plus, it's on the DRIVER side, not the passenger(isn't that where the drain is?) side.

The drain is on the passenger's side, but certainly could spill water into the driver's side, it's not unheard of. And definitely wouldn't hurt to check.

Have you looked for any gaps near the pedals and felt up at the rubber seals for the door and fender grommets?

Just thought I'd bump it to help people out. It was the windshield!

Do you have a sunroof? Mine leaked where the drain line came down the A pillar and connected to a boot. Driver and passenger side both came loose. Reconnected and dry as a desert now.

I know, but it shows up for future people that view it. It might help them. I have used similar threads myself in the past where people updated with more info.

Hi Dadof3,
Thanks for posting this. I have exactly the same problem. The driver side sunroof tube is loose. Can you please show how to reconnect it to the boot. I have a honda accord 2002 EX.

Thanks
Anand

If you climb under the driver side dash (you have to have your head laying on the brake pedal almost) you can see with a flashlight the boot and drain. Mine was a little short, like it shrunk, and I pulled on the tube some and was able to stretch it enough to reconnect it. I then put duct tape around it to ensure it won't come loose again. It was easy and took no time at all. There is a diagram of the drain on another post, which can be found here.

Thanks a lot.
Did exactly as described. The water flows freely now from the sunroof just behind the front tires. Looks like the problem is resolved. Will keep an eye on it for couple of rainy days. Thanks dadof3 for your posting.

Thanks
Anand.
