  • Interior flooded!

    Over night my car was parked in the street and we had a ton of rain. With the city being smart they don't have storm drains on the roads so the water by the curb was knee high. The water flooded into my entire passenger side of my car. I cant take out the carpet and get all the water until this weekend so does anyone have any tips about what I should do until then?

    go to a car wash and suck it out, unless you vacum that can suck water. and leave your windows as much as you can

        Yeah, leaving the windows open is probably the best thing to do until you can get the carpet pulled up. Just as a precaution, I'd disconnect the battery until everything dries up.
        Do you have a safe place to put the car when the windows are down?

            Do you have flood coverage for the car? If so, tell your insurance company, and have them pay to get that beeyatch fixed right. Send it to the detail shop.

                          I would get bleach anywhere near my black carpet. That could be bad, and also, dont think you arent going to smell the bleach after your done, and just cruisin down the road. Just pull up the carpet some, vacuum, dry, vacuum, dry, and leave the wondows down whenever you can.
