Default Water leak in the newer insight?

Ive had my insight since 09 and living in Virginia I have had rain for 3 days now, maybe more, but I loose track after a while.

Anyway I checked my carpet to see if its wet, which would indicate a leak somewhere and I see the passenger side rear was wet.

I know the first gen insight had a leak with the seat belts, but mines are dry. It looked like the passenger side rear door was leaking water between the seat bottom and door sil, but I couldn't see where it was coming from.

Second thought was that maybe the roof is leaking, it travels down the head liner, then drips out. Nope, that was dry too.

So, anyone else got a leak in the newer insight?

Don't have a water leak. Ever had your windshield replaced?

i'd check the door seals ... i noticed when i was driving last month in driving rain and 60+mph gusts the sills were slicker than usual ... do the water hose test on the door or monitor during the next storm

I did some mo checking today. I had a leaf in the gasket to the hatch near the antenna. Not sure that did much.

I looked and felt around the whole car and just found moisture on the windshield and the right edge of the passenger side floor.
