I have an 86 Honda Civic with a terrible leak. We have sealed the windshield a few times... we can't figure it out. Now i have about 2 inches of standing water in the front. How do you take the floor plug out? :?:

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Have the actual water-entry path located and the soaked interior dried and inspected. Confirm any drain-plug location and access procedure for the vehicle before removing interior parts.

to get to the floor plug you should take your seats out and pull up the carpet. You should find it under there somewhere. You could also look underneath your car to find out where it is so you don't have to take out all the carpet.

Discussion summary

flooded floor

A 1986 Civic had substantial standing water in the front floor area despite repeated windshield sealing. The owner asked about accessing a floor drain plug.

Reported outcome: No leak source, drainage result or completed repair was reported.

The suggested plug location was not confirmed. Draining the floor alone would not establish that the water-entry problem had been repaired.
