Default 2003 Accord water leaking into interior

I have a 2003 Accord EX (4-door) and have recently noticed that when it rains hard, water leaks into the interior. It is not visible, but I have found the floor in the back (behind the driver) seat is soaking wet.

I found a TSB:
"03-037 - Roof Molding Channel Leaks Water To Interior" but am not sure how to find information on how to fix this problem.

Any assistance in addressing this issue would be much appreciated!!

Lightbulb Hello Again:

This subject is one of the hardest things to find out, I have a Body Shop owner who I know quite well and he tells me that the leaks are very time consuming and hard to tell where they come from..he always says that water runs where it wants to and then leaks a puddle..did you find a bad rubber molding that has maybe a little chunk of it missing?

Oh man, that is not reassuring news. This has been a very wet summer, and these leaks are starting to (get) me off.

I will look for cracked/broken/missing rubber ASAP.

If you think you have found an area that may be leaking, spray some rubber seal spray in that area, then see if it still leaks..you can get a can of that sealer in most any parts store...

Here is the TSB;

Also check to be sure you don't have a plugged up drain tube in the sunroof.
