someone told me it was common for my trunn to be leaking i have a 97 civic, i was wondering if anyone has encountered this and how do i fix it?

Check your taillights first, that's the biggest problem with leaking trunks with civics. Next would be to check your weather stripping.

Yeah i have a 2000 Civic and my trunk leaks. I haven't looked for the problem but i did get tired of hearing water sloshing around after a rainy night. I drilled a couple of 1/4" holes to let it drain. My guess is prob the tailights.
