I know the back area is common on crxs to leak. Look up water leaks on CRXs in these forums and I am sure someone has had that problem too. Right now my back area is leaking so bad I have parked my car on a downward slope and until I get it into the shop I am driving my other car.

You might try and check into a local high school or tech college. I am taking mine by a technical high school and they are going to find the leak and stop it for free. All I gotta pay for is the materials and then make a small donation.

I woke up to the same problem today, My whole driver side carpet was soaked and also the back carpet of the driver side was soaked. I'm still trying to figure out what the problem is in my car. Anyone with any Ideas?

idk you would have to check them out for yourself and if they are you can make your own by buying foam paper at any craft store and tracing the old ones on the new foam paper and cut it out and done!

That is where my CRX used to leak, the only way I found it was by sitting inside and having someone run a water hose on the outside and I was able to spot the leak right away.

LOL!! Me too!

Been dipping the 6.0L Cadillac Tahoe all weekend and this week. I went to start the civic up yesterday to make sure the battery was not dead and noticed a lake on the driver's side. I suspected the sunroof since it's an Si but couldn't find the source!! I'm going to rip the interior out this weekend and wash the carpet and hopefully find the source. I will update then. Race to see who finds the leak first!!

you don't have to wash it , just get a blowdryer , few rags and some time and it will dry up , did that last night

I decided to wash it because my buddy spilled about a liter of ****ing sprite on the passenger side like two weeks ago. Might as well. Lol

Honestly, I don't think I have ever washed that carpet. I'm also going to clean out the drain tubes and take off the driver's side door panel to re lube the window regulator.

dont mean this to be rude but odds are it wont cause I'll take care of it. If it does I'll get it fixed before it gets bad. The cars u guys have happen to have a lot of miles and previous owners probably didnt do much to help the problem
