Wet in Accelerator/Brake Foot compartment when raining.

[Branong]

Hi bros, the above is happening to my uncles car that he just

bought. its a old civic and lately has been raining heavily,

causing the area where the accelerator is to start dripping

water once a while. end up that his pants at the bottom getting

a little wet and messy. Any one know where to go deal with such

problems? or just ignore and hope for sunny days?

thanks

take plastic bag and wear over the shoes. then the feet dont get wet

[Vivioman]

few possibilities:

 

1) floor board got hole (rusted away?) so letting water in...

2) windshield seal corroded, letting water in...

3) hole in engine compartment firewall (although it's got to be quite low for that much water to get in)...

Bro, best is ask your Uncle to send his ride to a workshop to check it out

 

Couple of possibilities as mentioned by Bro Vivioman

yea lor.. the water cant be coming from the floorboard.

my uncle suspects its either coming from the windscreen or

the water seep in through the bonnet area into the leg area

or wat. must test out on wet days then noe ar..

bring it back to the dealer to get it fixed...

[Branong]

apparently the dealer sold the car in a AS IT IS

state. so my uncle have to do it himself bah..
