Any body have any idea's why my trunk leaks up water so damn bad ? is it because of my ride height? and i live in portland oregon, i take a look at it and thing is flooded with water i am going crazy i tryed to seal it up with silicone glue but that didnt work i couldnt figure where the water is coming in from any clues ? what i did i just tryed sealing everything little hole or where honda had their seals at but yeah help me out

 

i have a 94 coupe, and on the drivers side there is like an air vent under the rear bumper, it could be this. and make sure all the holes in the floor are properly capped and your rubber molding around the trink lid is there/intact. good luck

 

last weekend looked at my trunk too. it had an inch deep of water, just used the vacuum to suck it all out. i can't find the leak either. it's been a couple days and noo sign of water in there yet though. tell me if you find where it's coming from

 

EK9 with a trunk huh? lol

Check your tail lenses and make sure all the seals are on tight, I had a loose tail lamp (dont ask me how it got loose) and I had moisture coming through that into my rear hatch area.

Good luck

 

what about a 99 4dr? EWhatever I forgot............
is leaking like heck and I couldn't find where, but I see it drips near the right tail lense.

 

mine is 97 coupe. and it's not leaking from the lights.

 

Mine leaks too

 

98ek hb.. yep.. my trunk leaks too..

u imported a CTR?

 

im on my third civic a 90, a 2000, and now a 92 and everyone has leaked.

 

n00b--before someone finds a way to punch you in the mouth on the internet--

An EK9 is a Japan/Europe-only Civic Type R hatch that was built between 98 and 2000. That is the only 6th gen Civic that is an EK9.

May god have mercy on your soul.

 

my 99 civic hb also leaks water. i keep on hearing water swooshing around, and one day i looked in my spare tire area and there was about an inch of water. good thing i have stripped interior, so no harm done.

 

the seals behind the taillights are where mine used to leak. .apparently they revised them in '99 (minewas a "98 hatch )my lights were always full of water too... THATS where it came through i guess..

 

damnitt IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!! man i have been trying to figure that crap out for a long time!! grrrr....

 

I have a 97 coupe and the right side of my trunk leaks like crap.

 

Has your car even been in an accident?

 

hhahahahahahahahahah.... good one

 

i have a 99 coupe and no leaks....yet. two of my friends hatchbacks (96 and 00) did leak.

 

damn trunk leaks still, vacuumed out all the water like 4 days ago, now it's about 1/2 inch deep again. i've looked and can't see where it leaks from still.

 

my CRX had a leak... and i ended up fixing the tail light gasket and it helped.

anywho. i'd say remove all ur panels from the rear and clean the trunk up real clean and maybe u'll see some marks of water seeping in.....

IDEA: get in ur trunk area. after everything is removed. and get a friend to hose ur car.... leave the hose running about 5minutes in several spots. maybe u'll find it.... GOOD LUCK!!

 

you dont have a lemon,..you are experiencing what most 6th gen hatchback owners go through (coupes experience the window tracks problem too),.. about the leak,..its coming from the taillights,..about the window tracks,..you have to bend back the "regulators" or atleast i think thats what htey are called,...its the rail that goes up and down next to the mirror,...i bent mine back straight and it doesnt go back off track anymore,..but it doesnt perform like it use to,..if you have manual windows,..do not torque the window when you are rolling it up all the way,..once it is all the way up DO NOT give it that extra little turn,..this is what causes the rails to bend

 

naw bro, its not a Ek9 i just call it an EK9 because i have a CTR motor in it USDM chassi

 

Has your car been hit from the back before? The bodyshop may have removed the drain lines the run along the inside of the car.

 

yes, 2 time in the rear

and where is the drain lines you are talking about that is inside the car?

when water drips, it come out from somewhere inside the trunk behind the right lenses.

 

Im not exactly sure where they are on 4doors, behind all that carpeting in the trunk there should have been like a clear hose, that's the drain, most of the time bodyshops don't bother putting that back in.
