Default big rain...sunroof & windows down :(

well...big rain last night. 5AM get woke up sunroof and windows are down....seats are soaked. carpet soaked. floor mats soaked. all the blue on the center console has faded. i look at the positive in this. i needed to steam clean the whole interior anyways. any ways any one know any good air freshener or mildew destroyers? hopefully my black magic will restore the center console.

I would say to unbolt the seats, spray your cleaner-foam stuff down and then shop-vac the hell out of everything.

Good luck!

just got done steam cleaning every fabric in the interior of the car. and i mean everything lol. ima start black magic once everything dries. i dont have any deoderizers with me so i might just febreeze the carpet after it dries b4 i put the seats back in. but damn my carpet under the seats was DIRTY. talk about weight reduction lol i musta dropped a lb or two!! (j/k)

If I was you I would just remove the interior and let it sit in a garage someplace to air out for a couple of days. Especially the carpet. I guess if it didn't rain that hard it wouldn't be too bad, but if you still have the body drain plugs in and there was a good amount of water that got in then you would have standing water under the steamcleaned carpet.

even if it doesnt start smelling, the carpet could be molding underneath. i would rip it out and do what m@ said. dont want moldy carpets, can cause allergy attacks among other unpleasent things
