#285235 Another source of moisture in a car is the Heater Core.
A slow leak in the core will add moisture to the car and cause your windows to sweat. It doesn't have to leak enough to drip, just enough to keep adding moisture to the air/heat. This will happen in either recirc or fresh-air mode.

On the tail lights is there a seal around them or something? I have noticed that one of my lights is kinda off. Could be where its coming from I was gonna seal it, but not really sure on what kinda sealent to use.

#286903 Okay, So I will finnaly have my car back in my hands on monday...

What do you guys suggest to use to seal up holes/ around tail lights and other areas where I might have a leak?

I was thinking some basic Silicon from the hardware store or is there something better out there?

just order new gaskets from honda, clean the area install the new gaskets, and snug the bolts tight :thumb:

See how the Left and Right are not linded up evenly I think the leak is somewhere there... the car was hit in the back, and it was cheaply repaired... i found this out after I bought it, But is there anyway I can somewhat line this up and have it less look like that and maybe seal up where ever the leak is back there.

Edit: Dont mind the Horrible looking exhaust, Its taken care of.

#286972 I have the same problem man, I hate scraping frost off the inside of my windshield! My quarters were re-done a couple of owners ago, but there seems to be a leak in my car coming from my wheel wells. (where my moon roof drain tubes go out) I can have it pouring rain on my car for days with no leaks, but once I drove it in the rain, the hatch fills up with water from water off the tires. In the middle of my spare tire compartment there is a small hole that the water drains out of, I poked it with a screw driver and the water drains out of it now at least. Just gonna try putting some sealant around the leak, I hate seeing water in my hatchie :( And I still have to adjust my tailgate too hehe. Good luck fixing your issue :)
