Hello Scotty!! Back in July 2021 I purchased a 

2003 Honda Civic LX Coupe with NO Sunroof.  196K Miles 5 Speed Manual Transmission (NON V-Tec) 1 day before the IDA rain storm my car sat in my apartment parking lot through out all 3-4 rainy days and when the rain storm was over with... I went to the car AND I discovered water in my driver side floor not a puddle or anything like that but... enough water to have me WORRY!! Please  Help me Scotty!!! about 2 weeks ago it rained for 3 days straight and again I discovered that the driver side was wet...in fact there was a bit more than before, So with time more water was accumulated I was able to take it to an Auto Body shop, they ran a water test... took the fenders apart to try and diagnose the issue. They even checked my drains for me free of charge and they were actually clean. Any thoughts. I measured the cars wheel base all around and the engine bay frame to double check for any bends of metal to see if it was in a wreck or not, seem to be fine to my un trained eye LOL. I have a video also of proof of the second time I found water inside the car's carpet floor just don't know where to post it thanks in advance!!

Windshield sealing would be a suspect particularly on a car nearly 20 years old.


Hey it could be it. but the windshield is NOT the Oem windshield. That can be another Option also. Thanks any opinion helps me make a list and go down the list. Will cost me money $$$ I think is worth it, I like this car. Good engine and tranny nothing is wrong with it. Thank You so Much! 😎


One way to find windshield leaks is to close windows, turn heater blower up full blast, and spray soapy water around the edge of the windshield. If you see bubbles you've found a leak.


Dang I am trying that right now lol Thanks it don't hurt to try it
