    For the OBD1 (prefacelift) models, the high pressure ABS unit has a tendency to leak fluid and fail, there's also the distributor O-ring leak which is quite common.

    Looking inside the engines, the valve seals and guides on the exhaust side tend to wear a lot with age particularly on VTEC B series engines, causing oil burn and blue smoke at high RPM.

    Other than that and the previously mentioned issues I find these cars are holding up rather well with age. Certainly a lot better than S13 Silvias and some other sports cars of the early 90's.

    Integra DC2 passenger side waterleaks, cracked sielastic, rust holes top of windsceen

    Looked everwhere finally found the water leak into the passenger footwell or if camber is drivers side down the drivers side, looked like water drops coming from bottom of A pillar or from fresh air intake through heater fan, BUT no it was,

    Rust holes between the roof and the top of the front window, under the cracked sielastic, hidden by the chrome cover molds. Just on LHS of centre, due to road camber holding water, (opposite side for LHD due to opposite camber)

    I attach the cheap repair, including photo of rust and rust holes with cover mold and cracked si elastic removed and post repair.

    The car is great now it doesent leak! Very satisfactory, easy job, remember to mask the paint and windscreen for a neat easy job.

    Only real issue I have come across is the windows rattling and going up slowly.

    What can be done to fix this issue?

    This is common problem. Punch it into google, there are many bandaid fix's.

    Or to really fix it completely, replace actuator and/or the seal it slides on.

    I just used to run some used motor oil on the seals using your finger or flat head for about 1 year before I sold the car.

    Thanks for the advice. Will have a look into using old oil for the seals.

    Well I shouldn't have told you to use oil, that could wreck the seals.

    Use silicone gel.
