Default Wet carpet after rain

Has anyone ever had the problem of a wet carpet after rain? My 94 Integra always gets wet (definitely know that it's water) after rain. I can't pinpoint the source though.

could be a number of different reasons. the easiest way to find out is to have one person sit in the hatch while the other hoses the car down with water.

Where is the water settling. Frt, rear, left, right? It's gonna be just a matter of you looking for a water trail. Use a garden hose on the car and just keep looking

From what I can tell, it starts from the driver side, then goes to the back, then it will creep over to the passenger rear.

Yeah, clutch fluid is full. I'm damn sure it's water. I think it may be coming from the firewall. I'm coming back this Friday, and JDM front may be in store!

Have you had the windshield replaced? It's pretty common for cars to leak water down the firewall from the fastener holes on the cowling at the base of the windshield. Usually this starts when the fasteners are removed during windshield replacement. They don't seal the same the second time and might need some sealant applied to them. This is only a problem on cars with fasteners that go through the firewall obviously. I've heard of this problem a lot with EF and EG hatches, so I'm assuming your car is probably subject to it also.
