Hey guys. Just came on board today. Bought a 2002 Civic EX with 120k and I have a water leak somewhere on the drivers side. Carpet is soaked. Exactly how do you remove the kick panel. I did a search and even youtube and couldn't find anything. Thanks.
If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: 2002 Civic EX Kick Panel Removal
The carpet is wet up the corner so I think that's where its coming from.
Last one I did was coming in through dried out body seam sealant between the fender and cabin
I know this is hard to see, but this pic below is looking alongside the hood hinge on the drivers side into the area where body panels meet....the brown smeared stuff was new body seam sealer that was applied over the cracks in the original sealer (smeared on as best as I could with no access nor any room to work)

I'll check that out tomorrow when I pick up the car. Could you tell exactly inside the car where it was leaking?
