Default Wet feet (foot) ? ? ?

Damn it ! !

Anyone know if getting a wet right foot in a RH drive s2k is a known problem with a Honda `fix`?

First time experience for me in 12 months driving it.

Even my Lotus Elise only ever leaked around the roof!

The UK`s M1and M25 motorways on Saturday night were really streaming water and my foot and carpet soon knew all about it!

Help anyone?

That's a new one on me.

Assuming you didn't simply scare yourself the car may have a leak.

If you look up under the dash (awkward) you will see daylight. The windscreen finishes under the plastic thing around the wipers, over your feet. If your screen is cracked or not fully bonded, water could get in during rain.

If the day is very humid, it could be A/C condensation.

Also, where it drips off, isn't necessarily where it's coming in.

Much more info needed, I'm afraid.

Good luck with that one.

There's a tech service bulletin out (and repair) from Honda about the air conditioning unit diverting water into the cockpit under certain humid conditions. That would be my first quess if you've been running the A/C.

If it's any consolation my entire left leg and foot was soaked last Sat. night driving the old MG back from a rally in a nasty storm. . . but it's not the first time, and won't be the last.

My passenger noticed it two weekends ago on a very hot and humid 2 hour drive through the hill country. Not sure how often it happens since I don't have other people in the car that often. Probably just condesation but I will check the floor mats over there more often now that I know there is a problem and a fix.
