any of you EG guys had ant issues with water inside the car??? My Passenger side carpet is soked and if i let it sit for a day or so the condensation builds up on the inside of the windshield and roof
any help would be aprciated.

P.s. i thought it was my winshield because it had a good crack in it but i replaced in and it still happens.

 

mine gets moisture in it all the time. never that bad though. check the seals around your doors. the hatch is a real common place for the car to leak also.

 

is it water or is it coolant, it may be your heater core, or the ac condensor

 

i was gonna say that too.i would check up in around your window seals on the door and the front window.good luck

 

water, not coolant.
thanks and keep em commin

 

I have the same problem, only happens when it rains, mines gets soaked too, I might have to take a day to to find out what the hell is goin on down there. Last time I dried it up I really couldn't find anything.

 

the ac evaporator sounds like it might be doing it also. its on the passenger side. check to see if that little tube is draining outside of the car and not in.

 

Ya, every now and then you'll need to push a hangar or something through your evap drain tubing to clear it out. Otherwise it gets stopped up and drains inside the car. I also recommend sticking a couple bars of Irish Spring under your seat to get rid of the mildew smell you'll probbaly get from this.

 

yup, the irish spring idea is definately a good one, and where exactly is thins drain, and thanks for the help guys i had my flame suit on

 

...and then he realized he doesnt have AC...

 

Bump b/c i want to know how to fix this problem too. I had ice on the inside of my windsheild this moring and not the outside
I too have no AC.

 

ok, silly question but does this happen when it's raining? My old DA used to leak rain into the pass. side footwell. The cause was the cowl (between windshield and hood) had a bad seal (it seals around the windshield). Water would leak in and drip through the fan housing. When I would switch from recirc to fresh air a waterfall would come wooshing in. Check that.

I have the same problem with my eg. Once I went through this car wash and it leaked like crazy on the passenger side. I don't have AC either. Also, in the rear it usually gets damp if it's been raining a lot.

same thing is happening to my DA.. maybe i should check the problem. what did u replace to fix the problem, nonsense ?

 

I have a cracked windshield too and I have the same problem....I dont think the carpet is getting wet, but it'll get real frosty on the inside of the windows and sunroof. Coincidently, I opened my trunk to find that it was wet, not sure what happened there....

 

I have the exact problem in my EJ1 when it rains. I would love to know what exactly is going on myself...

 

my windshield used to form ice on the inside also. i dont know why but most of the time its on the outside. sometimes none on the outside and its all on the inside. i still dont know why it did that. it might be due to humidity and ****

 

Ok, I will make this brief as I am at work. There was a service bulletin many moons ago regarding the welds in the older EG's 92-93 I believe. These welds break causing all kinds of leaks. I will see if I can find the bulletin and post it up.

 

it's probably evaporated water from the heater/AC. My friend had the same problem in his Durango.. and another friend of mine has the same problem in his DC teg. Also, just in case, check the seal for the ECU wiring.

I would also love to see this bulletin!

 

Pull off the black plastic roof trim. My buddy had this same problem on his two 5th gen hatches. He said it was leaking under the trim so he siliconed the body panels there.

sunroof?

 

its the cowl

This is normal for older gen hondas and tegs to go it.


What happens is there is a air mixture door there for your HVAC and water leaks down there and into the passenger foot well. The design was meant for water not to leak down from the cowl but as plastic ages it starts to leak into the cracks.

If it was coolant then your windows will be milky and the mildew will smell sweet. but as he mentioned before he doesnt have ac.

 

A long shot.
Do you still have your fender liners? There are a couple holes that should have grommets in them that go from where the ecu is to the fender area. Maby water could be getting in through one of those.

 

Does your car have a sunroof? You might wanna check that.
