Hey peeps so I recently bought a DX GU, the one that has vinyl flooring, and went out to play in the mud. I drove through a massive puddle and the muddy water level was above the bottom of doors. The car must've stayed there for maybe 30 secs.

Anyway to my surprise all of the insulation fluffy foamy thingy underneath the vinyls got all soaked up in water. After removing the side floor panels I can actually squeeze out some of the mud by squeezing it by hand, but it is still very damp, it won't dry out, and it's starting to smell.. I tried putting moisture absorbers from bunnings under the vinyls but they won't seem to absorb anything..

Any advice how I should go about drying this out?

Also WTF, is that even supposed to happen? I thought that would be waterproof! or could the water have got inside through the firewall?

I see people crossing rivers and ponds and all, surely they don't ruin their interiors all the time!?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers
