Water in passenger footwell MAJOR Problem!
If anyone has any ideas what it going on please share! We have a '95 SE-R and after it rains, even if the car is sitting and hasn't been driven in the rain, we get a big puddle of water in the passenger side footwell/floorboard. There's no water on the seats, firewall, sunroof/ceiling, etc. Have no idea what's going on. The radiator remains full of water so it doesn't seem to be the heater core. Any ideas? There is the typical rust hole in the door hinge area but it's relatively minor. The windshield wiper arms were recently repaired so not sure if that has anything to do with it, or if this is a common problem on the B14.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide.

If water was leaking down under the cowl it could cause this. What was replaced on the wipers? I wold take the cowl off and check the plugs that go in the holes and make sure there are no holes.

^^^ Agreed. Chances are they may have re-used the old plugs, if they removed them. Best to replace with new plugs and ensure they seal properly.

Check the drain hose for the AC ... if you have been running the AC , or even the heat on defog, the box will collect moisture , there is a small hose that drains it through the firewall, if it gets plugged it will fill up and leak into the car ...
