so, i'm having the same problem as this guy....

http://www.hondacarforum.com/h....html

after rain or a carwash, when i roll down the windows and roll them back up water streaks on the inside of the windows... after a day it will smell nasty if i do the same action... after a couple of days it will dry.

so today i finally got around to taking apart the door panels... and here is what i found.









i found a hole... the dealer where i bought it from said it they fixed it...




it appears that after removing the panel the window no long gets wet (immediately... after a while it did get a little wet)... but not as bad as the drivers side

i did the drivers side w/o removing the panels... and viola! all of this water is on the inside after rolling the window down and back up!!!



is it because of this part of the panel? it shouldn't be since water can't get to it when the window is up... but it apparently does


any ideas as to what should be replaced?

Water on the drivers side glass would be the rubber seal at the top of the glass. And as far as the leaking on the sideskirts, you might want to replace the outside lower window seal (4/5 in the pic). But as I can remember the bottom of the door is open at the bottom so water can excape if it gets past the seals. So I think the leaking on the passenger side is normal as long as its not leaking into the car. Seal up the plastic liner just incase.

You dont want to be carrying around last weeks storm water in the frame of your door do you? Dont seal ALL of the holes.

i donno about that... there is a large chunk of glue under the hole... which means that at some point and time the hole was covered.
