2024 Acura Integra Water Leaks

[StingertimeNC]

Same here. Door sill gets a bit on it but that’s outside the inner door seal so a non-issue.

mine is worse. How is that in the winter? Ive heard of doors freezing shut, etc. This seems to be a problem with many 2024 cars including Subarus, Fords & Hundai's. Not relegated just to Acura.

i've never had that happen to any vehicle i've owned, but the winters here aren't severe enough for it though, so i suspect that is a geography/climate problem more than a vehicle design problem

Right. I've had varying degrees of wetness ON the sill in every car I've owned. After I wash the cars, I open all the doors and wipe them down.

To say this is an "industry-wide" problem like OP said seems like an exaggeration.

Regardless, I feel bad for the OP for whatever issues you're having. Water INSIDE the cabin is problematic, but like everybody else already said, on the sills -- that's normal.

On a side note: my friend's RDX had issues with the sunroof so she took it to the dealership under warranty to get repaired (Acura of Thousand Oaks). A few weeks after the repair, we had some storms here in SoCal and water leaked all to hell inside her RDX. Headliner, seats, carpet - all soaked. What a shitshow that was getting resolved.

Neither have I. The water is bad enough. Once it starts freezing is where the real problems begin. This is basically a california car. And def needs to be garaged in the winter.

Still wondering what the source of the leak is. Maybe I missed it. If it's on the seat, where did it come from. Open window? Has there been any investigation by the dealer? is the weatherstripping around the door not seated correctly? Is the window not rolling up and sealing at the top? Seems like it would be easy to figure out what's happening.

Please report back with the findings so we can all be on the lookout for it.

Acura never finds anything. Not sure. Im thinking its the window seal as only the bottom of the door is wet. The front edge up near the dash stays dry. It looks like water is entering the door & leaking out at the bottom along the sill. The cheap hollow rubber tubing with the slit along the bottom seems like a worthless application. Its not even totally attached to the door. Just pegged down every 5 inches or so. That will definitely be gone once fall/winter come. I will be trading in this car very shortly.

Can you show us pictures of exactly what your issue is? Thus far you haven’t provided any pictures. I said it earlier and I will say it again - none of this is making sense and it’s smelling like BS more and more.

Multiple people have asked for photos, myself included. This thread is trash

Tend to agree, especially if water is just on the sill.

No issues in winter for me. Went through two winters with snow, ice, and sub zero days. Doors opened fine every day and I park outside.

Had water on the sill (inside the car) on my Accord. It was the plastic sheet inside the door panel that wasn't attached properly. And also the cable for the door handle, which was placed a way that lead water down the cable, inside the car. I rerouted the cable a bit so the lowest part would instead lead water on the outside of the car and reattached the plastic sheet inside the door. Never had any water in the car after this. But water would be on the car floor, right by the door and on passenger footwell, not on the seat!

OP - Does your ASPEC have a sunroof? Could be the result of the wet seat?

The only water I have noticed in my two weeks of ownership, and tons of rain on the way home, and multiple high pressure sprays as I washed the car in the garage was in the sills as previously mentioned, and the puddling at the bottom of the hatch.

OP hasn't provided a single picture. suspected troll

Funny thing... I'm seeing this now going through a touchless car wash. I found a piece of rubber door seal that was tucked behind the trim when I installed the illuminated doorsill. Water puddled on the driver's side and tuxmat collected it.
