its been raining for the past 2 days and i have discovered that i have a bad leak dripping inside the hatch shock mount on the body on the pass. side.
i have looked and looked but i cant figure out where its getting in.

its an hf so there is no sunroof
any thoughts?

thanks

 

Doesn't the washer nozzle leak? Hoefully somebody will chime in. I know Toad knows for sure.

 

u dont have a washer nozzle on my hf

 

My HF hatch leaks too. I always find water in the spare tire well. Its probably the $60 hatch seal that i can't seem to buy,lol. Its too much for a seal
I always put other things in front of buying that.

 

rear washer nozzle,hatch seal and tail light gaskets are the most common.i hate leaks

 

I've heard and read that it leaks in through the roof seal.

The area between the top of the door and the roof is covered with a strip of plastic. Underneath that and right at the end of that strip between the hatch and the roof.

 

mine drips badly from struts too. I removed plastic strips and caulked roofseals, sealed washer nozzle, made sure sunroof drains through all four tubes, still does it. I also know that when you remove your hatch hinges, there is sealant under there that commonly cracks. This is my next area to look. Trying to get an interior halfway decent with water leaks and squeaks is a bitch!!!

 

Yeah, it only rained for a few days here in cali and my spare wheel well is a birdbath.

I had the same thing. Turned out to be the tailight gaskets.

interesting, I guess my cracked taillight wouldn't help either

 

lift these seals and see if the seam sealer is cracked or deteriorated in these areas. be sure to check the seam sealer around the hinges that hold on the hatch. I repaired mine by applying hi temp RVT silicone (black) and I have been fine for over a year.






this is what some cracked and deteriorated seam sealer looks like

 

i'd bet money it is the tail light!!! every civic i have owned i had to re-seal the lights to the body of the car and that fixed it every time. I hate the water in the spare tire well , it fogs up the glass every time i use the car. Im going to have to do this on my new crx si.

How much money were you looking to pay out?????

Well if you actually read the OP, you would read that it is leaking at the hatch struts, so no, it cant be coming from the tails.
