Moderators PTR200S Posted January 7, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted January 7, 2022 Could it be coming in from the external air intake via the heater matrix ? Had this on a couple of vans when leaves blocked drain holes and allowed water to come over the tops of the intakes in the bulkhead cavity....just a thought. Presumably there is no visible evidence of it coming in higher up , windscreen and the like , so underneath dash ??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will investigate when the weather permits, in the meantime plenty of tissue and moisture trap to keep the car dry. 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been watching it for quite a while now, not used it yet myself but has come highly recommended by others. As Mrs Beeton says, first catch your rabbit or in your case, first find your leak! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have fixed this issue on loads of civics over the years and a couple of accords very recently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators hughezee Posted April 11, 2022 Author Administrators Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 Water leak fixed 😁 basically both roof gutters in the seams where the body meets the roof had visible cracks in the rear parts. This is a common thing on all Hondas but since the roof rails made it tricky to track and the area I noticed water coming in led me in a different direction for a little while. Not forgetting the weather working against me all the way which is to be expected 🙄 nonetheless the car is finally all put back together now. 😀👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
