2023 Acura Integra — footwell gets wet only after heavy rain

GarageWeekend132Community StarterAug 25, 20262023 Acura Integra A-SpecLas Vegas
The car stays dry in normal rain but after a long storm one front footwell gets damp. Door seal looks okay. What drain/seam tests would you do before tearing the interior apart? I am trying to get the facts straight before spending money.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2023 Acura Integra in Las Vegas, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. I'd do that before spending real money. On “footwell gets wet only after heavy rain,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. A second data point from another 2023 Acura Integra owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. I'd do that before spending real money. Did the worksheet show tax yet? This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I'd keep this practical. Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 Acura Integra before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Any freeze-frame data saved? Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Fair point. Counterpoint: If it still isn't clear on the 2023 Acura Integra, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. Then you'll know the next fork. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Write down what you already tried. A second data point from another 2023 Acura Integra owner helps more than a generic diagnosis. That's where I'd start. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Don't overfit one forum story to your car. If it still isn't clear on the 2023 Acura Integra, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Any freeze-frame data saved? A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.

Asking because it changes the advice: Verify the cheap/easy branch on the 2023 Acura Integra before a big repair or a big spend. That's where I'd start. Do that first. I've seen both outcomes, which is why I'd test instead of assume. I'll update if anything new shows up.

This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Wrote this up on my lunch break.
