So it rained here in the low country (that is the south east coast) for two days straight. when i went out to my car this morning it was flooded drivers side. now the water was jsut on that side front and rear, about a inch front and back. so i sucked out as much as i can and opened the windows and letting it air out more. now i know i did not get all teh water and some more is still in the foam under the carpet. but what are my chances that i need new carpet or will i be ok will a shampoo later after it is all dry. or am i jsut screwed for the carpet, everything else works great even the power seats. so i would say i am lucky with that, and i think i jsut did not close the door hard enought and rain got in that way.
thanks for any help.

 

well if you didnt get all the water out your carpet will mildew and you will hate life. happened to me in my last car. if you shampoo it and what not it could help keeping it from mildewing. What pasrt of the South east do you live in? I live right outside of savannah. It flooded our entire neighborhood. my neighbors boat started floating it was great.

 

yeah i live southside right now, about to move out too pooler building a house there. yeah i got jsut about all the water. every few hours more soaks from the foam to the carpet and i revac it all up again. i figured for tonight i will have some water sucker thingy i bought from wally world in there. then in teh morning i will start all over again and see what happens. weeeeeeeeeeee

 

should be exciting, its supposed to rain all week which means it will be cool so hopefully you wont get any mildew

 

well so far it is ok dont smell **** in my car this morning, and the carpet is just damp like i was sampooing her.

 

Pull up on the door moldings, & remove the seat. Then pull up on the carpet & get the water form under the carpet.

 

so the door molding jsut pop out i dont have to un screw them at all???

 

Go & look at them, tell me if you see any screws there.

 

Found the problem .... the a hole that had the car before me ran a sub wire all the way back. well what ever wire is drivers side they pulled the seal and jsut ran it threw there. and did not reseal the hole, come on now people no wonder my car leaked like it did. i should jsut go shoot them.

 

that sucsk well at least you found the problem so you can fix it and not have this happen again
