Default Leaking on passenger side floor

Hey guys, I have a leak coming in under my passenger side dash when I go through an automatic car wash or after I power wash it. I took off the lower plastic piece below the windshield and the seal isn't looking too good there. Does anyone know where to get a new seal or maybe some way to put a little ingenuity into it to fixing the problem?

It is the seal on the bottom side of item 5 in that link.

TIA

What model Civic do you have? If it would be an EX or Si, then it has the sunroof/moonroof option. These vehicles have drain tubes for the sunroof in the A and C pillars, that take any water that passes the seal, and direct it outside. I had one come off on my 94 EX and the floor would be wet whenever it would rain, or I would wash it. The front tubes just slide into a rubber grommet in behind the kick panels. They're a bitch to get to, but they're there.

My ECU is getting wet and not allowing the fuel pump to power up. I thought it might be the new windshield but this is something else that I hadn't known about. I'll be interested in seeing how this pans out.

No I have a DX so no sun roof. I just got a really shotty windshield guy who replaced the windshield. I have a feeling it was something he just didn't do very well...

if you got it done at a shop, take it back and make them pay for the damages because of an improper windshield install

Well I would but it was kind of a shady guy who came out and fix it so I really don't think he will do anything about it...I'll try to find the paperwork and let you know how it goes.
