Default Found the leak!!!

ok i dont know what you call it but it is the piece that lines where the door shuts. i looked for it on the acuraoemparts.com and couldnt find it. it doesnt go on the door. but where the door shuts.

i tried spraying it with water with the door open. i started from the bottom close to the dash and it worked well tilll i got up to where it is parallel to the windshield. then it started flowing to the inside and dripping on the floor instead of on the sideskirt.

so i pulled it off and noticed that there is a lip that bulges downward right there and i am thinking of just hammering that in or something. any ideas? sorry it was so long but i think i needed to explain myself.

look under acuraautomotiveparts.org and check under the A pillar, Window, and Door pieces.... or just go to your local acura dealer w/ your car and ask for a part#

you can get all part numbers here:
http://www.acuraparts247.com/

here are some pictures to help visualize it:





i believe you mean part# 84231-ST7-000ZA (#10 in the 2nd picture)?

can you take a picture of the damage that you described? yes, you may have to straighten that out if it really is bent out of shape. that actually may be all that you need to do, but we need to see pics to tell you with more certainty.
