well everytime it rains this **** happens and we cant figure out where its coming from...the funny thing is the water only gets there after iam donw driving like it wont be there then i take off and an hour later you look back there and that damn cup is full of water but the roof is dry and i cant find out where it is coming from.....iam thinking of taking all the stuff out of the back like the cups and all the panels and then try to find it from there...i allready have the back seats and everything else gutted...heres the pics its so shitty









anyone had this happen before and found the leak???

 

bump

 

I pulled up those rubber things up to day and its not those. Might look at the windows, or hatch seal.

 

first gut the whole rear end of it. it's not that hard. hose it down real good and go from there.

check your rear window inside rubber seals.

Is it an Si? You might be having your drip tubes for your sunroof contribuiting to your problem also.

Good luck

 

Mine leaks in the same spot. I have tried everything to stop it!

 

yea its an si didnt you see the sunroof from the pics?...iam prolly gonna do that on saturday-take out all that crap and see where its coming from...or tommorrow morning i dunno,if i pull the headliner down can it be snapped back into place? or do you gotta buy a new one once you pull it down??

 

take the headliner out and you will see all the bolts holding the sunroof up. Its pretty easy to take out, but helps if you have two ppl to do it.

 

yea but thats not gonna do anything? ive cleared the front drain plugs but not the brear ones cuz i dont know how to get to them? anyone have a tech on how to pull the headliner down safely to where it can be put back in?

 

Dry it up! Sit inside the trunk area to look for where its leaking and have someone spray from the outside with a water hose.

 

thats what we are gonna do in the next 2 days

 

my ****** rex does the same **** ,man that pisses me off

 

i made a post about this not even a week ago a bunch of the guys on h-t made a list of things to check and a list of things to do to try and stop it..heres a link to the thread i started about the leak i had witha ll the posts of what the guys had in mind to stop it................

thanks man^^^

 

mine leaks a few drips on the grey plastic part along the window.. furthur towards the front/door... its the window seal and latch not being tight enough. open the rear windows and check how tight the latch is around the mounting hole in the glass.. mine wobbles a bit with the window open from the washers being old i think... but it seals OK when closed. maybe yours is worse.. at least that little tray is trapping some of it.

 

Dam. Mine is leaking ont eh right side. Looks like it comes out of that seat belt mounting hole....

That's how we used to find leaks in cars when I worked at a body shop.

 

yea i checked the window and its tight but not that tight i honestly think its not that but i dunno iam gonna update this tommorrow i could give pics of the stuff if you guys want..iam taking out everyuthing haha gutting her all out excpet for the front stuff

 

I have the exact same problem. Same side too. I found that the weatherstripping on the hatch door was leaking. It goes down the side and comes out through where the rear seat belts attach at and dips from there. I put silicone on it till I got some weatherstripping from work. My manager pressed on the weatherstripping and what do you know water came running out of that spot and into the tray. Hope this helps you out.

yes thats where we found water this morining!!!! so just fix the rear weather stripping? i guess iam gonna go look at that right now...my weather stripping looks perfect was yours pulled up? cuz you cant seem to tell that there is a hole in it.....ill reply after we check it out thanks man!

 

thanks to t-mo we figure out where the leak is!!!^^^^^ its right where he said it was on the hatch weatherstripping....we opened the back of the hatch and poured water down the back part on the drivers side weather stripping piece shut the hatch door and stood back and water started dripping into that cup from the rear seatbelt holder thing and we looked at the weather stripping and there was a small piece missing from it.....so all the guys that said they had problems then thats how to fix it...thanks t-mo you just saved about 20 cars on this post haha it still doesnt fix my sunroof leaking but i wont have to worry about water in that damn cup anymore

 

I had that problem and I pulled up the rubber and there was a pretty tiny rust hole in the body and I sealed it and it stopped

 

i have a leak in the rear as well...much different from these types though. i will notice after it rains sometimes, a puddle will form on the floor of the hatch. my car is gutted and i can see where the water IS COMING FROM.

it is coming out of the section where the taillights reside. i'm not sure how though, but the rear is TOTALLY gutted and i can physically see it come out sometimes.

any help?

might want to check your taillight gaskets and the weather stripping around your rear hatch because thats where mine is comming from, take off your taillights and scrape the gaskets off and put new ones on.

 

thank you sir.

i suppose i could have thought of that too...if i wasn't so damn lazy. oh well.

-cody

 

Was that your problem? The taillight gaskets? Did that fix it? So if I fix the taillight gaskets, and the hatch weather stripping, then all I need to do is blow out the drain tubes? UGH. I love this 89 civic SI I just got, but what a pain in the ***. Hope I don't break interior pieces. BLAH.
