how did all that water get in?

my g was once covered in water half way thru the doors, i just rolled down the windows w/ the remote and went in, there wasnt a single drop inside

wonder if the seals are bad, weird

 

lol.. hopped in thru the windows? Thas some serious water.

 

The water never got that high, It was halfway up the skirts, and the water got in from the floor.

Its still damp now, I need to take apart the interior :O

 

To take the carpet out is a bi*ch that will require removing center console, seats, and rear seats, seat belts bottom bolts, kick panels, and a few other things. I would get some damp rid, and you shop vack and keep at it, but if your dont some mold is going to grow under the carpet in the styrofoam.

If were my car I woud yank the whole interior and get some spray bleach to spray on the foam and under panels to kill anything dry it real good, and then get the carpet back in once it is dry.

 

He is on the way to my house and its all coming out tonight. You swinging by to get the hoist or what? later mike

 

and it was almost dry up top





These things are under the floor and they absorb water alot


Mostly dried. Now it has to air dry all the stuff we cant get too.



Thanks again rpm06g35, if you did not help me I would of probably let it only air dry and never of gotten to the inside stuff.

I rinsed all the carpets just now with some clean water, they are drying in my garage. Tomorrow before I go to work I am going to shampoo
everything down

I got some Zep No scrub Anti Mold&Mildew with bleach ill spray on the foam and such, before we put everything back in.

 

at least you found that key you lost. you should leave that stuff out of your car, you probably just dropped over 100 lbs

 

actually, we did find "a" key no idea what its for though :P previous owner dropped it long ago I bet.

lol yea, weight savings! just need to pop out the back seat and head to the track.

 

That's good that there's help available within the members of the club. A big hand for Mike..

 

Yes indeed! I would of never of even done any of this if it wasn't for mikes help.


I just finished shampooing all the carpeting from my car took 4 hours did a good job I think. There is some coffee stains from the previous owner that wont come out though

Thank god its also not 90 degrees out.

 

Yep it was a total mess. I've never torn down a sedan. I cant believe the foam we have underneath the carpet, I had no idea. Funny story though, I went out to the garage and it smelled like a dead animal????? I was like wtf. So I went smelling everything. Trash, everything beside the garage and of course the foam pieces( thinking I was going to have to call danny with bad news)And still couldnt find the smell. I then walked around the bushes to the street and wouldnt you know a cat got blasted by a car on the street. What a mess. But yeah we should be straight once everything gets dried out.

 

round of applause for Mike

 

Fixed

Lol mike I was about to call you up mid paragraph to bring some of this mold&mildew remover stuff(wrote this before I went to work forgot to post it :X)

you got my PM right mike?

 

I bought some damprid the hanger type, and put one in my car with the doors closed with my floor mats, and 2 hanger + 2 cup type damprid next too my Carpet thats drying in my garage and ALL of them have a good amount of water in them right now.

And I am very impressed with Damprid, they are working nicely. As well as they removed the odor that was in my garage since some water got in there.

 

my dog threw up in my car, gonna have to take out the front passenger seat to clean the carpet, good times
