Water Leak: 92 Civic HB
Hello all,
I have a 92 Civic HB and have noticed that after it rains, I have water build up behind the rear driver seat. I ripped the carpet out so I don't have to worry about mildew or mold but it looks like the metal is starting to rust. Any suggestions on where the leak is coming from??? Adam |

If it is coming from the back, it is probably also accumulating in the spare tire well. The first place to look is leaking seals where the taillight assemblies mount against the car body. Also check the rubber seals around the hatch and the doors. If you have a sunroof, look for a clogged or dislodged drain hose. A few more possibilities: Check the drain path in the air inlet at the base of the windshield for clogging with debris or it might be dislodged. If not the above things, look for a leak in the seal around the windshield or hatch glass. |
