Consumer Description

CARPET UNDER PASSENGER SIDE MAT BECOMES COMPLETELY SODDEN DURING AND AFTER EVERY RAIN. HAVING BLOWER ONLY OPERATE ON "RECIRCULATE" AS A HONDA BULLETIN SUGGESTED DOES NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. (ALSO, IN WINTER, OPERATING DURING WET COLD WEATHER ON RECIRCULATE DOES NOT ALLOW WINDSHIELD TO PROPERLY DE-FOG.) DOOR SEALS APPEAR TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE, WITH NO APPARENT WEAR, AND ARE IN PROPER POSITION. BECAUSE MAT IS NOT WET, APPEARS THAT WATER IS GETTING IN CAR STRUCTURE FROM BELOW, NOT FROM DOOR, FOR EXAMPLE. I FEAR THIS WILL CAUSE FLOOR OF CAR TO RUST AND ROT, AND CARPET IS BECOMING STAINED BY MOLD GROWING UNDER THE MAT. DIFFICULT TO KEEP THIS DRY WHEN ONE LIVES IN A RAINY CLIMATE. THINK THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE A WHILE, BUT I WAS UNAWARE BECAUSE THE MAT ON TOP WAS DRY.R
