I just noticed that the rear passenger side mat in my '96 is soaked. It looks like the condensation from the a/c is leaking into the car but I can't believe it can leak this much, I mean the carpet is just soaked. The front mat is dry though, and the sunroof doesn't seem to have any leaks either. Any guess what's going on?

 

Are your rain "gutters" clogged?

I know for certain this happens on some Hondas. I had a slight leak in my Civic's trunk, fixed it when i cleared out some gunk.

 

hey i have the same problem...but when i checked it wasnt the ac but rain because there was water in my trunk too still dunno how to fix it

 

Damn, I know the fix for the front now, just not the rear, sorry

 

the trunk water is coming from defective taillight seals.
you will notice that there willl be some condensation in the taillight

 

What's it take to reseal the tail light? I have one that I need to do/have done.

 

maybe this will help... its the pic from a 1996 3.2 TL- P(premium for the n00bz) Its the Duct that the air from the AC comes from...





Edit: Sorry, pics are from Acura Automotive Parts . org

 

yea there is condensation on the light, how do i fix it? any one done this b4 or lknow how to ? and thanks but i dont think its comin from the air duct...there was WAY too much to b comin from the a/c ...unless it was like pourin out of it. the carpet wasnt moist but WET, so much that the little protective rugs i have also got soaked. any idea would b great guys

 

the passenger side right?

you need to go to the dealer and order a new tailight gasket.

to be honest with you i would just get both because i dont do things half ass.

 

the gasket should stop the leak? cause ive got water in the trunk too bro...not jus inside... dont wanna spend money and not fix the problem you know?

 

The way i found out where my window seals (weather seals) around the windows were leaking was... on a sunny day that there is no clouds (and even if there is cloud cover) as long as its not raining... go was the car... spray only in one area at the time... and then stop and check... when that area gets wet again... after you have spot hosed it... then thats where your leak is... make sure you do the front of the car first... where the windsheild is... then move to the front window... etc... found 5 leaks that i need to repair in my weather seal around the window... i hate little fix it things like this but thats life...

About your trunk... to check if its the tail light... you can just spray water at it for a good 3 to 4 minutes non-stop... like if it were raining... but only spray in one spot of the tail... then stop... go and check where it was wet before... if its dry... move on and spray in another area... until you find that the spot you are checking is wet again... and that will find your leak... its time consuming... but it will save you a bit of cash on just guessing... Then again, its only my guess for the trunk part of the car...

Other than that... if you don't find out what it is... its your Condensor... my bro's 96 Jimmy... has its condenser under the passanger side front fender near the tire... when he has his AC on for a while... 5 to 10 minutes... and then turns it off including the car... it leaks hell of water... I don't think this applies to our cars... but as someone said before... we have some sort of drainage in our car that can be unclogged... haven't found that drainage thing yet... and i don't know where the water goes when the condenser cools... might just be a different type of condenser... those are just my and for my applogoy on a big book on this... read my sig...
