    ice on inside of only 3 windows

    So, its been cold here in western washington, and went out to my car after work and started scraping my windows. got in my car and realized that there was ice on the inside of my front window and my driver side and my rear window. my friend said front windows and rear windows rarely ever leak, and i know my driver side window has a leak somewhere.
    my questions.
    1. how can you really tell what windows are leaking?
    2. where can i buy seals for them?

        If there is any kind of moisture in the car, It will find its way to the windows in freezing temperatures. i.e: the trunk in these cars are notorious for leaking. If there is water in there, it wants out.

        Did it recently rain or melt snow where you are at?

          it hasnt really rained recently, and if i can get them at honda i guess that would work since i got the hook up there from a buddy =D. and ill do the drivers side, all the seals around my trunk are in good shape, iv heard around the tail lights are prone to leaking, how would i go about checking that?

            Trunk leak sources:

            Tail light gaskets - easiest way to check is during/after rain (or hosing the car down), remove the small panels that allow access to the wires/bulbs, then check for water running down from the lights. Also check for water in the lights themselves; I had to seal the top edge of my 90 lights. They would fill up some, then drain into the trunk when I opened it.

            Power antenna - make sure the drain tube from the bottom of the motor assembly is attached to the grommet that allows it to drain outside (on left side, hidden by the bumper). Also make sure the fender nut (on the top) holds the seal tight against the quarter panel.

            Rear window trim clips - There are 8 clips that hold the chrome strip at the bottom of the rear window to the body. Each clip has a small gasket on it. You can check for leakage from these by sticking your finger up in the oval slot on the underside of the trunk opening and feeling for water. It will be particularly evident at the sides, the oval slots have a raised edge, so the water does not drain through them, it goes to the sides, then drains down.

            The quarter vent - behind the trunk lining on the left is a vent (about 4 x 7 inches). It is mounted from the outside with a rubber gasket. The gasket can leak. Honda does not sell the gasket separately. I have found some self adhesive rubber sealing material that has worked well.

            The rear bumper cover intermediate supports - on each side, about half way between the wheel well and the rear of the trunk, there is a plastic support for the top edge of the bumper cover that just snaps through the sheet metal with its own gasket. I have seen small leaks through these. Use either a new gasket (only comes with the clip from Honda) or some type of sealant.

            Rust - if your quarters are rusted, water will get in the trunk through them.
