Rain leak, CR-V, 2001
What is the chance that the dealer replaced the cabin air filter in such a
way that rain would get in? The carpet is getting wet on the front passenger side between the seat and the door, but it doesn't seem wet under the dash. Thanks for any help. Roy |

Does your CR-V have a sunroof? If so, you may have a clogged sunroof drain
hole. The drain hole is in the front corner of where the sunroof meets the roof. It gets clogged occasionally with leaves, etc. Just take some compressed air and blow it out, or run a coat hanger down to get the obstruction out. Good luck..

There's a known problem with the plastic windshield cowl on the first Generation Cr-v, where the foam rubber isn't aligned correctly. Park your CR-v on just the wrong angle and the rain will drip straight into your fan motor all day. Start here for an insight into the cure. Sign in and search for more. Some folks replace the foam, others install a 'hood' inside the heater to deflect the dripping. The cowl has to come off either way. http://www.hondasuv.com/stg/viewtopic.php?t=9893& 'Curly' |

Curly,
Thank you very much. I'm in that forum, but haven't been there in years. Used to visit routinely. I just tried, and I can still log in. It looks even better than before.
