Went out wheeling last night and got stuck in a really deep hole. Water came inside so now I wanna get it out. I know all the easy solutions tip out carpet rhino line make drain holes blah blah blah but just wondering if anyone's got any tricks that'll soak it all up without having to do all that so it doesn't get musty moldy inside

 

Only way to be sure is to pull it. It can stay in the pad forever.

 

Stanley steamer....

 

i would remove it to be safe if you dont get all the water out hello rusted floorboard and that's a bigger pain to replace

 

dehumidifier, put it in, crank it up, shut the doors, and let it eat!!



oh, yer going to have to dump the holding tank after 5-6 hours i reckon

 

Realistically, your floors are probably already rusted from water under the carpet. I'd either roll down the windows and ignore it or pull the carpet and fix it.

 

ya gotta take the carpet out now. Once you get it that wet under there, its only a matter of time.

 

jeeps dont need carpet... pull that ish out!

 

lol i flooded my jeep last year.. Just took all the water out with a cup then vacumned it dry (No probably not super dry, but enough to wear it was dry to touch) and its fine lol dump a bunch of rice down in there then vacumn it up.

 

Your floors are rusted.

 

Probably.. But then again i gurantee they were rusted way before i got it lol

 

If you have AC, you have a built in dehumidifier.

Turn the AC on with recirculate. Turn the heat up. Close the windows. Let it idle until water stops dripping out the condensate drain.

This always worked for my convertible.

 

0:35

or press "4"

 

The amount of time you would have to leave it cranked to dry it out would be ridiculous. I'd pull it up now if i was you, i'd of never though mine was rusted out.. but it was. But if you're dead set on not doing it then do the dehumidifier, or if you've got a garage and another vehicle take the doors off and put it in the garage after you get as much out as you can with a shop vac.

 

I think the OP is concerned the only way to get the carpet out is to "cut it out".
The carpet can be removed in one piece but it takes time, but time well worth to get the jute underlay completely dry and see what condition the floor panels are in.
You need to remove the sill plates, the front seat belts, the front seats and the console. Then the carpet can be folded in on itself and pulled out the doorway. I did mine last year cuz it was filthy and I wanted to inspect the floor metal. I used a pressure washer then a carpet machine to get he carpet squeeky clean, then let it sit in the sun a couple days to totally dry out.
