Hey Guys,
The title pretty much says it all, I have a 1996 Honda Civic Hatchback (actually belongs to my cousin, he got it a few weeks ago). Anyway, water is leaking into the Driverside Floor Board, but we have no clue where its coming from. It hadn't rained since he got it, but now these past few days it has and he's facing this little problem.
He is the second owner of the car as it was bought from a first owner, so it's not like it's been through a lot of people/abuse. The car is completely stock, no modifications whatsoever, except for the Koni/Ground Control suspension we installed a few days ago (first mod).
Nowhere else is it wet, except for the Driverside Floor Board. The passenger, rear, and trunk/cargo floor boards are dry as they should be after a rainy day. The weatherstripping looks fine and it seals properly as it should. Windows shut all the way up, as they should. No cracks in any windows or the windshield.
Basically, I'm pretty much clueless as to what it could possibly be, so I'm here hoping someone might know or has had experience with this issue in the past and may suggest what they did to fix it. I had searched and found a thread where someone said there was a recall on 1996-1997 Civics about water leaking into the cabin due to insufficient sealer on the body seams. However, after checking with the VIN# this recall does not apply to this 1996 Hatchback.
Any ideas, thoughts, helpful comments, etc will be gladly appreciated. We plan on trying to find the source of where the leak is happening sometime this coming weekend by use a water hose to locate it. Hopefully this helps, but any tips are welcome.
Thanks for looking,
Danny
PS. Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be as descriptive as possible.
