Water in the backseat...95 Prelude - Honda Prelude Forum

JasonC. · 02-20-2005, 12:44 PM

My girlfriend has a 95 Prelude. Just the other day her back seat behind the passenger side was soaking wet. We took the seat out b/c we thought it was coming from under the car. This is not the case. Everytime it rains, her back seat gets soaked....but we can not find the leak anywhere. Has this happened to any of you guys? Any suggestions on how to get rid of this problem?

u need to take the headliner off... then check if the drain tube for the sun roof is connected. sometimes it can get loose or if someone changed the motor or lid they might have forgotten to re-connect the drain tube. There is one on each corner of the sunroof, u will see it once u remove the headliner.

You should also check if there's water in the trunk, if the trunk is leaking, the water can get to the back seat when you brake.

You might also check the seal on the back window. I had the same problem, and thats were mine leaked.

Also check bootlid seal - they snap over the chassis and can trap water for weeks causing rust - a sure sign.

For now, leave the seat out and wait for the next rainy day, then you'll see where it drips from.

or take the headliner and panels off and have her spray the car with a hose and you should beable to find out where its coming from

I have the same problem. But it just happened the other day. How do you take the headliner off?

my rear windshield leaked, had it cut out and put back in.... 1 yr later it started leaking, so i took it back and they shot some urethane into where it was leaking (i did not like this and told them it would not solve the problem but there was little i could do).... its been 2 months since that and now its leaking again.
