2001 Civic Coupe leaking roof
my civic is leaking inside when it rains. The water pools on top of the roof lining and leaks by the rear view mirror.
A mechanic said I should have the windshield reseated. Not sure but I thought I would ask first.
Has anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks

Re: 2001 Civic Coupe leaking roof
Here's a thought, see if that windshield is leaking. And find WHERE it's leaking.
Get soapy water that will make good bubbles.
Run the engine.
Set heater controls to COOL and FRESH air.
Don't need to run the AC.
Run the blower fan full blast
Close all doors, roll up windows tight.
Wash the car. Soap up the edges of the windshield area good, watch for bubbles to form.
If it is really leaking, I'd have a glass company reseal it.
They might find it has already been replaced and was done shoddily. BTDT.
Really, unless there are HOLES in the roof, it's almost gotta be a windshield that isn't sealed right.
HTH

Just took a garden hose to a 2000 Landcruiser. found the roof leaking. Water running past the windshield right onto the pcm. Garden hose and a flashlight my 04 hase had crazy windshield issues, but no leaks. I know honda has had tsbs for aftermarket windshields in the past.
