Water Leak

I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX. She runs well, even at her advanced age with 168k miles. Recently I’ve had an issue. After rain, the driver side floorboard is very wet. I tried a windshield cover on the theory that it could be a leak around the windshield. I’m running out of ideas. The area under the seat is dry and the area near the steering is also dry. The area around the doorways and window are dry.

Mine has been doing that as well but I have found the source of my issue. On the passenger side there’s a rubber boot that the wiring harness runs through and goes to the engine bay. Mine is cracked and I don’t have the inner fender splash guard anymore as it has been shredded. I don’t know how to fix it yet but some people have said to put RTV around the base of it

Re: Water Leak

Just this week actually. They cleaned the area under the windshield out as it was clogged with debris. Then, due to an accident while doing so they had to replace the windshield. So it was either the debris clogging the drainage or the windshield, either way it’s dry now.

Awesome! I replaced my cowling with brand new, cleaned the gunk out from everywhere since mine was pretty gunked up too. Going to replace the windshield next. Removed the fender and hit every hole/gap with water and no leak. Let it sit in the rain and it leaks right in the corner where the firewall and side panel come together. About to lose my mind! Only thing left I can think of is seal around windshield is leaking. Glad you fixed yours!
