Honda-tech,

i am having a issue with my integra. whenever it sits out in the rain water gets onto the passenger floor, i have used silcone and gorilla tape to seal off the cabin cowl and it didn't help. just replace my windsheild with a new one and a new seal too and didn't change a thing.
and it is coming into the blower housing some how because eveytime i turn on the blower water pours out of it.

at the rate its going i will have the only integra that will rust from the inside out!!

Thanks for any info.

 

Fixing Wet Passenger-Floor-Board

1st go to Acura or Honda and order qty 8 of part number 91608-SJ6-003. It is a small white rubber seal. They cost about $ 2.50 each 2nd remove the wiper arms and the wiper motor cowl. The wiper cowl is the long black panel under the wiper arms. Pop out the black circles and unscrew the white clips. You may also have to pull out the plastic pins under the rubber seal on the firewall side of the cowl. The panel is cumbersome. Use caution not to break the ends near the hood hinges. After you remove the cover there is another black cowl on the passenger side. This cowl covers the passenger cabin air intake. The leak is coming from the black plastic push screws that hold that cover on. When you remove the cover you can see the seals in the holes that the push screws were in. The rubber seal dry-rots over time and the sides split open. Water leaks in one drop at a time and adds up quickly. Once you have replaced the seals you should be leak free for another 9-10 years.

Win! I second his info.

 

^+1 good info

 

Odly mine does the same thing. Sitting outside in heavy rain the floor gets wet underneath. I thought it was one of the rubbers threw the firewall. i might give this a go

 

you have the hatchback one right? I think it's just like my Accord, there are two rubber channel pieces in the corners of the cowl, when rain runs down the windshield channel they are supposed to divert water away from the cowl area, they get holes in them and deteriorate, or mice come up the drain hole from underneath and chew through them, I had a mouse nest in the cowl of my car, and I drove it every day , also check your door seal where it pinches, they dont make the seal any more, but if you clean it really well with simple green, sometimes it will seal better, are you parking with the nose of the car at an up angle?
