Just a quick question. I have a flood in my trunk lol. Need to drain
Wondering if there's a drain hole in my trunk
97 lx civic sedan

Need to know if there is. I am gonna be playing with it tomorrow. But never hurts to ask early to make my life easier

 

iirc, it is near your spare tire screw holder. should be 1.5" or so in diameter, sometimes covered over with body caulk

 

A drought is an unusually long amount of time dry, so I'm going to guess the word you were aiming for there is flood, not drought.

Technically, there isn't a trunk drain, because water isn't supposed to get in there in the first place. Don't go trying to drill one down there, either - the fuel tank is right there. You should use a wet/dry vac to suck it all out. You also need to figure out why water is getting in your trunk. Is the trunk lid properly adjusted? Is the weatherstripping still healthy and sealing?

 

thanks @racist, i fixed it haha.

Ill try to look tomorrow, its just super Oiled up back there not really water. dumb friend put the oil change bucket back there n didnt seal tight, leaked out everywhere haha.

Used a bunch of those blue paper towels that u can get from an auto parts store. earlier tonight. got most of the oil. still got some more to go. will do dat tomorrow

gonna run to oreilly n ask em what to use to clean up oil.

do hope / wish there was a drain plug tho. wud be way easier

 

Get most of the liquid out with a plastic cup, or glass jar till its just residual on the metal.

if the trunk carpet is installed and got soaked, remove it, and clean it out of the car.


Use absorbent (cat litter) let it soak for a while. then sweep it out with a hand brush and pan.

Then some simple green and paper towels till its all gone.

keep using absorb on the carpet till it dosent pick any more oil up, then vacuum the residuals. (tho this is just a guess on at least drying the oil from carpet. It may never get "clean" again... I've had to do the other tho in my spare well.)
