Drying out after a swim?

[MudRunnerTD]

Yep take the seats out drew. About 30mins for all of them. Take out the carpet. I cut mine across the car under the center of the front seats to help get it in and out. It has been out many times!

I hope never again! I hate bog holes!!

I have had my GQ to Chest hieght inside the cab and above the roof outside and got pulled out backwards. Drove home and insurance wrote the car off. I bought it back and rebirthed it. Never again!

You need a drain plug in the floor. Hopefully you'll have warm weather later this week.
Gernie your carpets, dry and you know who's your uncle

I'm guessing the water was muddy?

Yeah mate as above get it all out. On another note if you don't decide to strip it then do not use a heater in the car....lol....trust me! I did that once and the hot humidity just moulded up the entire inside. Cool air, windows down, doors open in your shed for a few days.

In the past when similar has happened to me I have found that hiring a carpet upholstery cleaner and giving it a good once over and then putting a dehumidifier in the wagon for a week works well

I drowned a car in T'ville on the way to work. Had 6" of water swimming around my feet.
Once home, I put a sprinkler under the car for a long while until the water went clear-ish
I then parked the car in the carport and stripped all the carpet, underlay, console etc out of the cabin. That's when I discovered a hole, about 50mm across without one of those body plug things. A lid from a WD40 can was glued in place with sikaflex and the floor was treated with anti-rust stuff.
As it was cyclone season, the carpet and underlay went into the family room on racks etc and I had fans going 24/7 for about a week.
Deodorise it after its dry with carpet cleaner etc and then put it all back.

That's what I was thinking. Was gonna call one if those mobs that deal with flooded carpets....I've found one that cleans vehicle carpets too. Depending on how much it costs that might save me some time and effort.



Tip tip tip......tap tap tap....
