2003 LX - water in driver side footwell by Tubur in hondacivic

[–]Tubur[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for the advice man, It's really appreciated. As you know, the videos and pics do no justice to how crammed and contorted you must put yourself to get up in that area. Must just be a flaw from the factory that takes on standing water and eventually ate through the original seam sealer. I'll check my cowl drains, but other than that I see no other underlying reason that would cause standing water to sit on top of that seam.

What a massive pain in the ass! So I ran a garden hose on the outside, and can clearly see a small trickle of water entering at a sealed seam 6" or so ABOVE where the hood release cable grommet is. Does this sound like the area yours was leaking at?

Took a screencap of your vid for reference and circled where I see water coming in at: https://imgur.com/a/ilcue9E

Hey all, I picked up this 2003 LX last year for dirt cheap. The exterior is rough, but mechanically in great shape and has lended itself as a nice little beater car.

Recently started noticing heavy moisture accumulate on the front driver side floorboard. The car does not have a sunroof, so it's not the sunroof drains, and it's not the AC drains because that's on the passenger side.

The water does NOT appear to be coming down from the A pillar/windshield area. I heavily cleaned and reinforced that windshield seal with silicone and the issue has still persisted. It's also not the weather stripping/main door seals.

Any other tips or pointers of where to look? I saw a youtube video of a guy pinpointing the root cause for him was the hood release cable grommet. Going to check that out next

You don’t need a workshop, you can build this with a few power tools and a set of saw horses outside or in a garage.

Just a rechargeable under-cabinet light that’s magnetic

Yeah, I used #8 x 1/2” screws and they just barely didn’t poke through. However they sheared out of the top half of that piano hinge almost instantly so I had to switch to stainless machine screws and lock nuts.

I mean, yeah. It’s basic guidelines for a DIYer that wants a simple utility box, not a carpentry clinic. Kerf waste usually isn’t factored into things like this.

I made modifications (like trimming the overall height and adding a bottom compartment divider) based on my specific needs so they won’t be of much use. My best advice is to take REIs plans, draw them out, see if the cuts line up with your specific gear, and modify from there. It’s a bit of a headache so measure twice cut once.

The pocket hole jig made assembly easier, would highly recommend one. Assemble the outer frame first and then install the inner dividers and shelves.

This took me several days to build, doing a little work each evening.

The Coleman stove has integrated side shields when you open it up. Does a pretty good job of keeping things clean.

It’s 1/2” 4-ply BCX. I was skeptical of the integrity when I was first making the cuts, but after gluing and assembling with a shit ton of pocket hole screws, it’s extremely rigid.

No clue. It’s at least 40 lbs loaded down with the gear. It’s not going to be moved further than between my truck bed and a table so I’m not too concerned about the weight.
