take the carpet out over there and just examine it.....maybe pour a little water on it urself and see if it drains thru a hole or something.

 

how do i take the carpet and all the plastic parts off ? any manuals? howtos?

 

i had the same problem in my old sunbird,it was coming from where the water drains are under the hood,if its a 2001 dont u have warrinty still, when its raining really hard outside,just sit in your car with no noise around and u will be able to hear it drippin and just look around were its really wet

 

i think i found the leak, i took the fender covers underneath and there are plastic plugs and they were missing on the both sides, one i found under the carpet when i was pulling it out and i put a putty and some silicon and hope its gonna take care of it.

 

I hope what you found is the cause of water leak.

My '90 hatch back had similer water accumulation in R/H aft passenger foot area. The leak was traced down to leaky windshield seal. The water did not surfce in front passenger area due to plastic backing used on carpet.

so far ive been in the rain few times and the car is dry and the old boat smell is almost gone, i still have 2 week b4 the dynamat is applied and new carpet installed so i have time to do some further testing.

 

Check behind the front fender where the cowl and the firewall meet. There was a problem where the caulking would crack and dry up and water would leak in. There was a service bulletin on the problem from the mid 90's. They say they fixed the problem, but I had it in my 2000 Civic. Drove me and the dealer crazy.

 

MAJOR OLLD THREAD JACK. my car does the same thing when it rains out, i am thinking it is weather stripping on the passenger door, one morning i came out and there was like a good 6 litres of water threre. iuno though, my car is a 92 civic si hatch
