Hi everyone,

This summer I noticed that I have water in my Accord. When I installed additional noise insolation in floors I found some water in back passenger foot area. I pickced up all this water with towels, dried with fan and also checked rubber caps in floors. They are all good. Floors are good, no rust at the bottom of the car.

Yesterday I found water again. How can this be possible? Only at the right side of back passenger floor under the carpet.
Any idea how can water come in?Where?
Help please!

cheers,

Check that windscreen isnt' leaking or any air con issues. More importantly check you don't have the footwell or bulkhead rust, get a screwdriver and lightly tap at that area, it won't be so obvious. I didn't know I had it until I started pressure washing that area and it exposed the rust. It is a common area for rust on this model due to a bad design of water flow from the the scuttle area.
 
I checked everything, bad rust on bulkhead, passinger side, there is a big hole there and water drops right into it. Its a big repair, dashboard must go out.......
Pictures soon,

cheers
 
Well,

Everything is done. Here are some pictures of rust, it was hidden under plastic wing, drivers and passenger side.

Dashboard was the biggest problem to disassemble, a lot of work, especialy to put everything together again.....
