well looks like I got juiced by the dude that sold me my hatch
I bought the car in the summer so everyday was nice but now that it is colder and we are getting rain I notice that my floor mats are soaked whenever it rains, at 1st I thought it was someone spilling water in my car but that deff is not the case.
I was wondering where I can go to get someone to take a look this or if anyone knew what this could be.
also I have checked my trunk and water does not seem to be leaking in there but I am getting crazy condensation on my rear and front windshields.
any and all help is very much appreciated

I can almost guarantee you its the front windshield drainage channels. They get clogged in the inside and it ends up leaking into the interior.

does it have a sunroof? check the drain channels
also check ur windshield seal (exterior), my old prelude had a crack in it and i sealed it and it stopped the leak

If it's a S13 hatch, yeah this is the culprit.
There's a hose that runs from the passenger A pillar down through the car.
It's probably broken and you probably have a rusted floor by now. Good luck with that.
This is also why S13's keep blowing ECUs.

Oh. It's a Civic.
Aftermarket sunroof? peel back the roof lining + a/b pillar and have someone spray a hose over the roof.

yea I was thinking that could be the cause of my condensation but I think it wouldn't cause my floor mats to get wet
I might have more than 1 leak, just hoping if people knew any trouble spots on the hatches

You'd be surprised what a leaking sunroof would do to your car.
It could so be a broken grommet/plug/whatever letting water in. Check around where your harness enters the car, as well as the pedal area.
Is it coming from ONE side or both?
