Where is the drainage hole for the Honda City trunk?
2 Answers
The trunk drainage hole is located beneath the spare tire in the trunk, which is at the very bottom of the trunk compartment. The drainage holes are typically plugged with rubber stoppers to prevent rainwater from backing up into the vehicle. Generally, there are one or two drainage holes designed in the trunk area, and water can be drained by removing these rubber stoppers. Below is additional information: Points to note: The most prone to clogging are the drainage holes for the sunroof and the engine compartment, often overlooked not due to negligence. The engine compartment drainage hole is situated near the air conditioning intake, making it susceptible to bacterial growth and potentially affecting the air quality from the AC. The sunroof usually features multiple drainage holes, each connected to a drainage tube, visible upon opening the sunroof.
I've been repairing cars for over a decade and often encounter issues with the Honda City's trunk drainage holes. These are typically small holes located in the corners of the trunk floor or near the edges, designed to drain water and prevent accumulation. If you lift the trunk carpet or mat, you can easily spot them with careful inspection. Why are they important? Because during rainy days or car washes, water can easily flow in. If these holes get clogged, water will accumulate inside, potentially corroding the metal underbody or causing unpleasant odors over time, which can shorten the vehicle's lifespan. I recommend car owners regularly inspect and clean these holes using a soft brush or air gun for gentle unclogging. Don't underestimate these small holes—neglecting them can lead to costly repairs. It's best to check them every six months to ensure proper drainage and avoid unnecessary troubles.
