problem #2

Civic 4-cyl

My 75-year old mother has a 1997 Honda Civic ex. The trunk lid is constantly falling from the open position and this evening caught her right across the bridge of her nose, resulting in a deep laceration. Hondas are so cheaply made, that I see no way of adjusting the trunk lid. Perhaps I will file a lawsuit!!

Right side of trunk leaks, causing the owner to put everything in the back seat instead of the trunk. Possible hazard if an accident were to occur and items in back seat were to fly forward.
