It doesn't sound like the issue on your car but most times people end up with wet floors is due to the sunroof drains getting clogged... Not sure if you have a sunroof but I am putting this up here for searching purposes in case they find this thread and that is their problem.

I had this same issue with my P11. Check the sunroof drains and they were fine but the floor still got wet. I noticed that water, when it rained water would leak in from under and behind the glove box. I finally took the cowling off under the wipers and siliconed the entire area and the lower half of the windshield where it meets the body. PROBLEM SOLVED!

Oh yeah, I herd about that sun roof problem, lol i happen to not have one, so i can eliminate that, it turns out it was a hole under where the splash guards would protect, i plugged it up, and problem solved =)

^I think this might be my problem. What about just changing those seals that are above the windsheild wipers?



^My car leaks from area #2 when it rains. I haven't used the A/C this year because I didn't get it charged, but it does not leak from area #1 where the drain tube fits. Could it just be clogged and leaking back into the box? Would getting the A/C charged at a shop clean out the system when they put it on the vacuum?

Take the cowling off and check the area below.

Had the same problem with a 92 NX and there were old leaves and other crap down in the "box" on the passenger side.
Cleaned everything out, checked the seals and no problems since.

Also just fixed a reoccurring leak onto the passenger floor board in my 92 SE-R.
I couldn't find that one for a long time. Checked the sunroof drains, cowling etc.

Then one day after a heavy rain water when I had to brake hard, water came pouring out of my sunroof switch.

Turned out the metal under the glass sunroof gasket was rusted away. Replaced the sunroof glass with another one and problem solved.

- Ok. I'll check the cowling this weekend and check back in. I installed a new sunroof and cleaned it up about 2 months ago, so that is good.

I guess that may work...
All I know is siliconing the crap out of that entire area under the cowl fixed my leak. It was a cheap and easy fix and you couldn't even tell I did it.
