I just don't get it, and I can't be the only one with this kind of leak.
It's not the hatch that's leaking. The rubber seal around the hatch opening seams to be fine, no rips or tears or holes. But when it rains, man it POURS into my car. So it's got to be a good size opening! I can't find it!
Anybody have this happening? I can't progress with my build until this water issue is resolved. Suggestions please?





It leaks more on the right side than the left.

the water falls from the plastic (when it's on) here.

 

HT search sucks, just use google.

It could be coming in through the rear hatch squirter nozzle seal, the seam sealer in the corners and between the roof and doors, or the seam sealer around the hatch hinges. If you have a sunroof it could be that the drain tubes are clogged or that the drain pan has rusted away. Look for cracks in the seam sealer and use some rvt silicone to seal it up again.

Thanks, I just siliconed the heck out of those spots. We'll see what happens.

 

Do you have a sunroof? if so the rear drain tubes could be clogged. blow compressed air through them to clear them out

 

Thanks for the info, but It's a DX, no sunroof.

 

Subscribed! I need to fix these ASAP, my car is rusting away.

 

I figured it out! It was the washer nozzle on the roof, the gasket was bad. I just need to figure out how to take it off! and where to find the gasket. Suggestionss????s

 

Drop either/or the headliner and the trim piece that runs under where the hatch hinges attach to to the roof. Pull the washer hose off the fitting, pull out nozzle. Buy gasket from a Honda dealer.

 

A lot of good info on the water leaks. I have a 1991 CRX Si with a sunroof. And I get water leaking into the dome light. Only happens when it rains a lot. Can this be the tubes being clogged? If anyone has had his happen to them. And knows a fix that would be greatly appreciated.

 

Yes xtalent, you know how to access your sunroofs drain tubes? It's pretty simple. It could also mean that your sunroof assembly tray is crooked. Make sure all your bolts on that is tight.

 

Okay, I'll check out the sunroof tubes.

 

Very good information here. I needed this!
