Default Help! Water in my trunk...

Ok, so two weeks ago I purchased a '97 DX Coupe... when I got it I noticed that there was water in the trunk, creating a very nasty smell. Well, I came back from vacation this week and it had rained here, I open my trunk to find water in it AGAIN! Would anyone here have any idea of how water is getting in? I really want to fix this... thanks..

does it have a sunroof??

honda channels the water that gets by the gasket of the sunroof down a tube that escapes each side of the trunk.. pull back the interior carpet on each side and check that the clear tubes are pointing down and not into your trunk

drill a hole in the trunk floor, that is the most easy fix.
