Hey I have a 03 Acura CL-S 6 speed notice this morning on my way to work that the FRONT + BACK passenger side floor board was drenching wet....It had been raining here for the last 2 days... Interestingly enough the carpet up under the dash is dry so the water is not coming from under the dash. The carpet closer to the center console appears the most wet(not sure if there any other drain present proximal to this point). I have read in the other forums that usually culprit is blocked sunroof/ moonroof drains... I was able to identify the 2 drains in the front.. however I am unable to see any other. I did see 2 or 3 leaves that I removed not sure if these are the culprit.. Unfortunately its still raining and is expected to do so over the next couple of days.. Do this particular car have drains to the back of the vehicle?

Questions are as follows:


1.Are there any other drains present..if so where?

2.Does anyone know where I can access the drains to determine if it is patent..(I planned on using a .065 weed trimmer and thread it through the two front drain) and any other possible drains.

3.Also does anyone have any schematics as far as to where the drain(S) terminates

4.Has any experience a similar problem if so what was the problem and the fix?

OPEN TO ANY IDEAS!!!!

i had a similar problem for a long time, until i lifted the carpet. for my issue, there are floor drain holes which are 'plugged' by plastic caps. these caps were not sealing and/or the floor panel was cracked.

i just duct taped all around the drain holes, and I also taped 2x plastic sheet around the whole (driver) floor area, then laid the carpet over that. no issues afterwards.

i have no idea if sealing off the caps will give problems, but I'd rather do this than have a wet floor all the time.

Finally!!!!
I tracked down the problem to the sunroof passenger drain. So I removed the inner carpet under the passenger side floorboard proximal to the dash and center console... poured some water in the sunroof cowel...lo and behold I could see as water trickled down onto the floorboard.


So now that the problem is identify... does anyone have any schematic of the passenger sunroof front drain hose and where it terminates.. I could see it after removing the passenger A-pillar and a circular tape over a hole about the size of a quarter the tubing.. Problem is I cant see where it terminates even after removing the fender. Any ideas guys. I know there is a rubber grummet that guides the water out the car. I think the tubing and the grummet may be disconnected.. Any ideas guys?

So God was it a lot of work... I spark some weed up to not thing about the helluva work I would be undertaking. In order to connect the passenger sunroof drain tube to the rubber grummet in the fender well.. I had to remove the glove box, the cabin filters,and the blower motor before I was able to get to the tube and connect it to the rubber grummet in the passenger fender well... No more water leaking into the vehicle....
