Careful not to plug up those two drain lines (open holes under the grommets). Those are drain lines for the sunroof and evaporator. Covering the grommets definitely worth doing
Thanks for the info.. I definitely covered them with silicone.. I don't have a sunroof but if one of them is a drain for the AC evaporator that's not good.. I'll clear them both out asap..
@@tongo117 no problem at all - this video is fantastic for showing how the grommet leaks, but plugging either drain line will keep water inside that should be leaving
BRO you saved my butt!!!! I was minutes away from buying a new computer but when I took mine out I noticed the carpet had moisture. I used a hair dryer to dry my computer and the car fired right up. I also remember my no start issue only when it rained. I may still need a computer in the future but at least I know what was frying it. Thank you so much, I don't think you understand how many people appreciate these videos!
Still decided to go with a computer but now I feel better about the new waterproofing
Glad the video(s) helped.. No harm in a new computer that gives you a spare..
Thanks for making this video. I have a similar problem on a 2002 Accord. It might a loose sunroof drain tube - but it seems like too much water for one overnight rain storm with the roof closed - or a loose grommet below that water channel that you showed. Thanks for giving me a good idea of what and where to look!
yeah it took me awhile to pinpoint this leak.. i had no idea there was a grommet like that on each side.. good luck with your repair.. thanks for reply..
Check your drain tube! I have a 2001 Accord and have had to deal with wet passenger side floor boards TWICE because of the drain tubes!! Those dang drain tubes on the right side wall under the glove box are RIDICULOUSLY SHORT! They are barely long enough to fit into the drain just a bit. Have to rig it so it can't come out or you'll deal with it annually. Terrible design by Honda...
@@timandjaneth I had that problem with TWO of the 4 sunroof drain tubes. The car was so old - we ended up junking it in mid-2022 - that I just glued the tubes shut from the top.
Thank you so much i would of never figured it out always tried checking when it was dry took everything apart and then put it back together and still didnt figure out what it was but thank you so much for this video people like you make this world easier thank you so much
Glad to have helped.. Thanks for reply..
Brilliant. This leak really confused me and you made quick work to solve the problem. Thank you very much!
Glad to have helped..
Thanks for the video, it helped me to find and seal up the grommet that soaked the carpets in my 05 Accord.. Now in the process of drying them (and the foam under them ) out.
Glad to help.. I knew others would likely have the same problem..
Thanks man. Bc mines doing it on both sides and I could never fogure out why. I done checked my roof and everything. Blew it out checked for clogs. But it always done it during rain.
Thanks man! Exact problem of 2001, seriously appreciate it!
Glad to have helped.. Thanks for reply..
Fantastic video. right to the point no fluff. well done and thank you so much you fixed my problem!!
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
This should be a training video for every company on how to communicate properly.
Sir, I followed your video and found the exact same grommet on my 1997 Honda Odyssey! So I siliconed as well and this resolved my wet carpets! Thank you!!!
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Thank you for this. In the middle fixing this right now. Waiting for sealant to dry. Then putting it back together
Glad to have helped.. Thanks for reply..
I have been having a issue with fuel pump not coming on when it rains. I knew it was moisture related but thought it was the windshield. Just sealed everything, we are expecting rain tonight/ tomorrow. I will follow up to see if this is my fix (fingers crossed) I have replaced fuel pump, fuel pump relay, ignition switch. Plugs, and wires. Thank you for posting this. Wish this was posted in more places.
Man you are my savior. Excellent job. I have disected this beater and kept looking for sun roof drains. Great job
I knew there would be others with this issue.. Glad to help..
Going try this on my 2004 Civic... Makes alot of sense.. thanks for the video.
I think you just saved me, my 1999 Accord is leaking like a sieve in the passenger side everytime it rains, I'll give this a try
Hope so, easy fix, good luck
thanks man...gonna check this tomorrow and blow out the ac drain line as well
Question - was there a "vinegar" smell coming from the silicone you applied? Never use the sour vinegar smelling stuff on metal body parts, especially where water's involved (99% of the reason you'd be using silicine). The acetic acid (the source of the vinegar smell) will corrode any bare metal it contacts, & water will speed the damage exponentially. Always use the stuff that says "ultra" RTV (permatex), any color Ultra is fine, or the butyl tar - based non hardening "form-a-gasket #2. Just sayin'...
I used generic silicone which stated on the label it would work on metal.. Hopefully I won't have the issues you stated.. Thanks for the reply and info..
Hmmmm🤔 I’m having the same issues with my 98 civic ! I’m a try it in the morning and I will fill u in tomorrow!
Thanks so much for sharing. This is very generous of you to share your time in this way.
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
I have looked for the cause for years .Thank you.Great car this was a rare design flaw .
Glad to help.. And yes, poor design..
I AM DOING THIS TODAY...Actually within 20 minutes, I just bought a silicon sealant for the caulking gun. i have a 2003 Honda civic coupe and my floor board is getting wet man!! 😞 AND IDK what the heck is happening OMG its so stressful wish me luck and thank You so much for this video sir! 😀 hopefully this is a fix thanks again
Glad to help.. Good Luck..
@@tongo117 I ACTUALLY FOUND THE ISSUE. my issue is very different, its on the floor board. I need to get in touch with this company called WaterDoctorauto
I have a ton of water passenger side carpet front and back after a car wash. It will be raining here for a week so ill need to look for a dry spell before i attempt this. Wish me luck.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!….short and concise video with no beating around the bush…
Glad to help.. Thanks for reply..
I think this is exactly my problem. At least I am willing to have someone try this and see if it fixes my issue. Thanks so much.
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Did u remove any components under the dash in order to pull out that firewall insolation looking layer?🙏🏽
I did remove the metal kick plate that the 2 computers are mounted on.. I have a video posted to show how that's done.. th-cam.com/video/Vg0Qs--jP-M/w-d-xo.html
Thank you very much for this excellent video! Fact-filled and to the point!
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Nice. Very nice. Concise and to the point. Ive got a '95 EX. Question - Where's the best place to get Honda parts for cars as old as ours? Need all the grommets, screws, tabs, etc. Thanks you very much for the vid. Gonna test my leak this week.
For me, salvage yard first.. I have two that send me alerts if/when a 94-97 Accord or 96 Lexus ES300 arrive.. Then eBay, Amazon etc if I can afford to wait for the part.. If I need right away and can't find at salvage yard, NAPA, AutoZone etc.. and last resort... Dealership.. Glad video helped.. Thanks for reply..
Also have a 2003 Accord but these grommets were not there. Mine is a Japanese Honda and perhaps that is the difference.
My Accord is 1995
I have water on the floor and wetting the back seat on the right side of a 98 Honda accord. Would this likely be a similar problem and fix?
I bet this with solve one of the leaks i have ,great to the point vid .
Thanks for making it.
Glad to help.. Thanks for reply..
I'll try this on my accord 1993
Gona try this on my 2003 accord
Good Luck..
@@tongo117 I did it. It’s in a little different spot and my silicone was old. Not sure if it’s gone set up and cure but we’ll see if that fixes it. Was simple to get to.
Thanks for this video. My 05 Acura TSX would smell like wet dog every time I got in. 👍🏼
mine too but no more..
Thank you for making this video.
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Thank you so much dude. Big help
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Great video! Solved my problem. Much Thanks!
You're welcome.. I knew there would be others with the same issue..
@@tongo117 This was the only one I found that addressed the leaks that appeared to come from under the carpet. All the others were for leaks that came from under the dash or window gaskets due to different problem sources. This one had me stumped until I saw your video
thanks
You're welcome..
So let me ask you something if I'm doing it myself can I just put some foam around it
If it's closed cell spray foam that should work.. But see comment below about two small drain holes that I blocked but shouldn't have.. For sunroof and AC evaporator:

Thank you for the video.it really helped a.lot.
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
Hi. At 3:15 the original sealant has dark spots. If this is dug out it may reveal rust underneath. All depends on how long your wanting to keep it i guess. Here in NZ I have a 2005 Accord EURO with wet undercarpet so my fun is just beginning.
I want to keep this car forever so I will definitely check that out.. Thank You!!
Am having this issue with a 2003 Acura TL. Since Honda produces Acura, will this fix the problem on my Acura?
If it's leaking around a rubber grommet then yes, this should work..
Thanks for the video....I had the carpet removed (1999 Honda Accord V6). However, I am trying to identify the black padding just above where the carpet was removed on bother driver and passenger side. Underneath is a thin cushion that is soaked and stinky...I need to replace it but I do not know what is called and why it's so saturated... I noticed you removed the carpet but not the black floor backing...in my car that was soaked along with carpet. Please advise.
At 3:48 in your video....I see the part I need...but don't know how to identify what it is and why it is holding water underneath.
@@natishaknight4717 only the front edge was wet so I put something underneath it to raise the edge up.. then left a fan blowing on it for a few hours while it was in the sun.. as far as what it's called, don't know.. i would think it's just insulation to lessen road and engine noise..
Will that work for a 2004 Honda Accord
If your 04 has that same rubber grommet and you confirm that's where your leak is then yes, it should work..
@@tongo117 is there any way I could send you some pictures to show you that the sides are different
Great vid ! Thnx, man
Yes sir.. Glad to help..
Thank u so much sir
You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..
What size was the hose or tubing you bought
?? Only thing I bought for this repair was silicone..
What is the name of the sealant you used? i have a leak behind my dash that comes in from the drain on my 98 civic and i need to seal that up
This link will take you to what I used and it's holding fine but there's a comment below saying Permatex Ultra RTV would have been a better choice to use on metal.. www.homedepot.com/p/DAP-Silicone-Max-10-1-oz-Clear-100-Premium-Window-Door-and-Siding-Silicone-Sealant-08791/206046715?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-202261776-_-206046715-_-N
@@tongo117 thank you very much!!
Will that work for a 1999 ex v6 accord?
if you have a similar leak around a rubber grommet then yeah, this should work..
When it rains or snows I always get water in my accord, why does it do this?
No easy answer.. You gotta figure it out..
Ask bad questions...get bad answers.
M how else can I say it smart one?
