I dont know, but my window leaks on my EG. Everytime I wash it I end up having to sit on a wet seat and the floor is a little wet. A possibility?

i had this problem, try this, take out your carpet and everything else, then jack up your car and have a friend get the water hose and spray up underneath the car, water should come out somewhere, then get silcone and glue it up or sheet metal with jb weld.

check the seals around your windshield. also, a friend of mine had one of his drain plugs in the floor board came loose, which would soak his carpet everytime it rained. we didn't what it was until he took his carpet out and noticed the plug wasn't in the hole anymore.

edit: spelling.

replace the weather stripping around your door. and check the latch that the door attached to whe u close it. make sure when you close it, it is allowing it to close tight and make a seal. if it closes flush with the rest of the car, then it is just a $5 rubber weather stripping that runs around your door. hope that helps you.

but when i have my carpet out re-doing my interior, i noticed the tiniest amount of water leaking in right under the ecu. only in a hard down poor, barely any water. and mine also leaks a litle in the rear somewhere from the foof? i still have my headliner and back panels out... i need to fix that.

Make sure all the grommets in the firewall are ok. There are a few spots on my car I had to fix because whenever I would hit a big puddle, water would slightly splash on my feet.

haha and guess what its raining again tonight ... Monday I think im going to take my car to an auto glass place and have them take the windshield off and put it back on ... resealing it .. the next option is leaving it at a body shop where they can leave a hose on on it and fix the problem for me .. im tired of seaching by my self .. im just gonna pay somebody to fix it !

It's the seal around your door. Either the weather stripping has worn down, or the door has once been removed and replaced by someone who didn't know what they were doing. You can adjust the strike plate for the latch and check how the hinges are mounted. I've had this problem on two of my Civics.
