'93 civic HB water leak typical ? where to look ?
My '93 Civic Si HB recently developed a water leak somewhere on
the passenger side ? The front passenger side floor and floor mats are drenched. The water has somehow made it back to the rear passenger floor. None of the seats have any dampness. The doors had no water in them or their compartments. The driver side floor is dry dry dry. The windows and sunroof were all sealed tight and show no signs of gaps. The glove compartment was dry. The car is parked in the same place as always. The water came to my attention after about two weeks of torrential rains here in the SE U.S.. The car sat undriven for that time. I go to drive the car and the windows are fogged/condensated up after our cold night. There are a few scatered patches of mildew/mold. Are sudden water leaks typical for these older civics ? Where or what should i suspect first ? I tried running water hose on and over the car around the passenger side windows and sun roof but no luck finding any drips or leaks... maybe i need to do it longer ? any helpful advice greatly appreciated robb |

Look VERY closely; the cracks can be small and hard to see. I've also seen rust in that location. Rust can allow very large amounts of water to enter. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
