so i bought a used 09 Camry. its always had soaked rugs and carpets. i figured id investigate. pulled the seats and plastics and then the carpets. holy hell, the floorboards had over an inch of standing water. i found a loose tube by the passenger side under the dash. the evaporator/condensation tube was unplugged and i could see when i turned on my AC the water would just drip like crazy out of the nipple where the tube connected. so that my problem. years of AC drips inside my interior. now my car is in a million pieces but im happy i found this. slowly drying. i might lay some towels on the padding and step on it or use a roller pin for bakery to absorb more water.

I enjoyed your common sense solutions to something most of us have experienced, such as a wet carpet/padding or wet cardboard. Looking forward to “boring build Friday” which, I must admit, I don’t find boring at all.
Wait a minute..a surprise vid by Scott.. Well ill be damn a pleasant surprise...Thanks for making time to feed the need..lol. be safe have a great rest of the week.
To all that think the Mustang project is taking forever, you've obviously not been following Bad Obsession Motorsports Project Binky. 6+ years and it's still not complete!
@@trevorvanbremen4718 Seems to be a rally style car, but I would have a hard time racing it after putting that much work into it! Definitely going to be a squirrelly ride with all that HP with such a small wheel base.
I've had the carpet out of my truck several times (various reasons) and cleaned it each time using water and detergent. I always just let the Florida sun dry it out. Yes, just like clothes line dried clothes, it's a little stiff but it has never shrunk. Fits just fine. Maybe I didn't use enough water? Either way, it's a good tutorial for dummies.
Great tips, I would have never realized that the carpet would shrink in the sun. Makes sense now that you have pointed it out though. Love your videos, thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
I had to strip the interior out of my 05 Colorado once to dry out the carpet after the back window seal failed and leaked and filled the floor with water in a rain storm. What a pain. I did lay the carpet out in the sun with the pad side up for about an hour and a half, but ended up finishing the dry out indoors. The time it was in the sun didn't hurt it, but I agree that it's safer to dry it indoors.l, especially if it's not your car. It's a really good time to clean the carpet, and the floor while it's out.
I've dried my 87 Mustang out a few times after it got a bit of water inside while driving down some roads with several inches of water. It STUNK! I flushed it with fresh water many times from a hose, and used a dryer on air, not heat, and it dried out nicely.
My interior is really easy to dry, I live in Phoenix Az. rarely ever rains here YAY. but when it does lol, I have a wrangler and rarely do I ever have the top up and doors on, you guessed it, it only rains when I am away from where the doors would be. Easy fix was when I brought her home, I just removed the carpet and rear seat and put some neoprene seat covers on her and removed all her drain plugs. Now after a rain she is dry in no time.
This is all good advise and all correct. However, I suspect very few people will go to this extent in dealing with water in the car. Sure, if you have the time, the tools and the space, this could be the way to go.
My Dad's 2014 Subaru Outback had what I believe was a sunroof leak because of a blocked drain tube and the carpet got drenched. The padding was crazy. I appeared to me to be an encapsulated foam attached to the underside of the carpet and it really held the water. I left if out of the car for several days with a fan blowing on it. Did manage to get it dry and reinstalled it and fortunately have not had any funky smells.
My old civic sat for 9months and accumulated quite a bit of interior dampness, my bet is the seals are super bad. So I’m gonna try to find some time to pull the interior out and do what I can to get the rest of the moisture out
You got me good I knew it was Tuesday but when I seen your video pop up is it Friday I’m good now. Great how to video because that padding on the floor will hold water til the floor rot from it. See you Friday ✌🏽
If you are going to use something to "kill potential mold" use RMR 141 or RMR 86, but it discolors carpets and interiors just like bleach. Been doing environmental work for 15+ years and this is the best product I have found to use. Look on RUclips videos to see the stuff work.
For what it's worth, I've had more than a few really wet cars and a couple that I've had the carpet out of after the fact, e.g., t-tops left off of fox-body, bronco with water up to the dashboard, 911 with leaking sunroof... All for them I either pressed a towel into the carpet until just fairly dry or used a shopvac, but no extreme effort... perhaps removing the rear seat bottom on a convertible (I don't recall), and for all of them, by the time I had the carpet out - probably within 6 months or a year - everything was bone dry. My experience has been that some common sense quick cleanup and then normal use (which will have HVAC exhanging and drying air) works fine to dry a car out. so long as you can get the majority out.
I learned a lot from this video, thank you! Also I am a clean freak lol I put my car into the garage and it "dried out", I thought problem solved but sure enough, when I pulled up the carpet the padding underneath is s.o.a.k.e.d. It smells terrible! My poor car😭
If interior is intact you can blow a lot of compressed air from about an inch, it pushes water much faster than gravity. Still - interior must be taken out, but drying will be rapid. Air can rip apart loose stuff tho
A wet/dry shop vac and a leaf blower will do the job a lot quicker. Sprinkle baking soda on the carpet when done and leave it overnight. Vacuum off the backing soda the next day and it will dry perfect every time.
I remember my first flood interior and exactly what you did , I did the same , dried it in the sun . Toyota Supra T-roof 3.0 model year 89 . Euro spec . Bought that car in 93 from some Belgium lady and me as a young " businessman " thought I was going to make a killing on that sale . I remember loosing 35.000Bef . ( roughly 850EUR ) after I found a second hand interior . That was BIG money back then . That time there was no collecting or pimping these kind of cars . I was selling cars as fast as I could in East Germany and Poland but that´s beside the point . Sun drying ? big nono
Thanks for the extra video. Always interesting an informative. It must have been a real storm to get that much water inside the car. Useful tip on flattening the spare tire cover. On our Daihatsu Charade, the cardboard spare tire cover was beyond repair (just wrecked, not wet), so I made a new one out of plywood using the old one as a pattern and I glued the bits of sponge on with contact adhesive. So far, I haven't had a wet interior with carpet. My old Holden that I had decades ago used to leak like a sieve, so I just had no floor mats and I removed the drain plugs in the floor.
My Honda Civic had an feature, that i used to wash battery acid spilled on the floor. I poured water with an hose, and it dripped through the floor lol. Rest was dried with vacuum cleaner
I'm still salty about you not working on the Mustang but I could never give you a dislike :) Thanks for another educational and entertaining video, keep up the good work
I'm sitting 10ft away from leather front seats and the carpet I pulled and steamed last week, depending on outside temp I hang carpet and walk away, been in too many freshly detailed rides (by someone else) that have that familiar stank, I always hang em til dry!
Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for. I saw you in the search results and new you would be good, and sure enough! Hadn't considered the padding at all.
Had to do that to the wifes landcruiser, she parked it at a coffee place with her girlfriends and the auto sprinklers came on for the lawn there, of course she left the windows open , seats carpet, console. Puddles on the floor and seats. Leather seats dont really like water. I shop vac it first, then 2 dehumidifiers running full bore inside it. I finally pulled the interior. No easy task.
I had a heater core split one cold winter night while my young grandson was driving my 2006 luxury car. What a mess with a large amount of coolant in the carpet.
Dang this means after over of a year of me bugging you for this video and waiting for you to hit a 100k that my nagging is going to have to come to and end sad days lol. But thank you its been fun!
Had me totally f..ed up.. thought it was friday. Best copart flood salvage i ever bought....( other than my harley) A nice clean water hose job on a 2 year old dodge pickup. No way it got wet on its own. Easy money and when i bought my big ass fan at home depot. Should have told me about shrinkage 45 years ago🤣👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Scott! Happy Tuesday brother.... Great instructional video, how to do it the correct way, of course. Hope your week is going well, your getting things done and having a little fun along the way! Work safe, see ya on Friday.... Doug@ the "ranch"
Thanks Scott not much sun in England but from now on I will just use my fan, i was thinking of buying one of those ozone machines to take away mainly bodyshop smells but sometimes human and animal odours found in these used cars any thoughts on these machines???
How very timely. I just bought a flood car from Copart and the waterline was just basically the floor boards. I hadn't planned on pulling the carpet because it seemed dry and I was able to vacuum then treat the mold and then shampoo the carpeting. Guess I'll be pulling the interior out. It's a shame that a new car got totaled for a little bit of water. The car functions flawlessly. I'll pull the interior out and mitigate the water and mold and I'll have a very cheap 2016 Chevy Malibu.
Haha scary, i just found this and its friday, thanks for The info iv been looking for a decent video to dry out my mother in laws 2013 Honda crv car. Soaking foam under the carpet because the tray was full of water not sure how long its been there. But only realised two days ago. Thanks il get on to it tomorrow.
I have done that on ones that I have some extra time on. They also have packets that hang on the rear view mirror and look like plastic bags that do the same thing.
Flood cars? We call those cars swimmers. Or "swimmahs" up here in Boston. When I worked at a junkyard, the owner used to get wrecks and tell people, "Yeah, you don't want that one; it's a swimmah."
Do u have a vid for the troublesome dash pad curl repair for the grand ams ? I too enjoy working on these cars and can never find a good condition dash pad. But i also dont want to just put screws in it to hold it down either ..... I dont do that. It was a ( tech tip ) someone else advised me to do that really sounded like poor quality craftsmanship
Thanks for the informative video. I have a question though, if I need to use this method on a car that has been sitting for at least a year with the window stuck open (budget and family problems got in the way unfortunately so we haven't been focused on this car) do you think since the car was never fully closed off there's a chance there's no/very little mold or do you think it would be better to just replace it all? Just wanted to ask as you have way more experience than me here and if I can I'd want to not spend more than is necessary to deal with this situation. Thanks for your time and I hope things are going well for you during these crazy times.
I got a question about rust. I bought a 2014 F-150 last October. I'm seeing rust bubbles on the running boards and on the bumpers. Is there a way to be more proactive in looking for rust? Or is it time to get rid of it before more rust starts to show?
I would not dislike your video because you are not doing an interesting build like the Mustang. I will just wait patiently for you to do the next episode on the Mustang. Simple. I will watch all the boring videos not just the Mustang videos. I do that because I like supporting all the content. Including the boring content. Like watching water dry from wet carpet. Great tips though. Keep the content coming.
How on earth does one "pull out the interior"? Maybe I should ask instead where to take my car so a pro can do it for me. And how much woul this likely cost.
Out of curiosity, what kind of camera do you use for your videos? It seems like a lot of your videos are recorded at a lower frame rate. I kinda like it honestly!
You scared me. I thought it was going to be how to dry an interior on a Ford. You had to start pushing it today so I can get maximum airflow off the cliff.
@@vehcor 😆. Bought a brand new 1991 Ford F-150 with 12 miles on it. There were two miles from the dealer to get on major highway and the piston disintegrated in the block. After several days of arguing. I want you to Chevy dealer across the street never look back. Only Ford I have is my 66 Mustang
Tim Turner - That’s terrible! I always thought pretty highly of the “brick nose” F-150s. Amazing that they’d try and argue with you when your truck (clearly) was still under warranty. Plus, why would someone INTENTIONALLY blow up their brand new pickup truck before it even reached home? Unacceptable on their part.
so i bought a used 09 Camry. its always had soaked rugs and carpets. i figured id investigate. pulled the seats and plastics and then the carpets. holy hell, the floorboards had over an inch of standing water. i found a loose tube by the passenger side under the dash. the evaporator/condensation tube was unplugged and i could see when i turned on my AC the water would just drip like crazy out of the nipple where the tube connected. so that my problem. years of AC drips inside my interior. now my car is in a million pieces but im happy i found this. slowly drying. i might lay some towels on the padding and step on it or use a roller pin for bakery to absorb more water.

One thing is for sure, Never roll up the windows if the interior is wet. If it's warmer than 50 or so, it 'll mold up almost instantly.

How on earth does one "pull out the interior"? Maybe I should ask instead where to take my car so a pro can do it for me. And how much woul this likely cost.
Out of curiosity, what kind of camera do you use for your videos? It seems like a lot of your videos are recorded at a lower frame rate. I kinda like it honestly!
Canon M50 all are recorded in 4K at 25fps.
2:50 yea ! Its Tidy Tuesday !
Who would have thought that would happen on my channel! 😂
bruce willis drys out the car interior when he is not killing bad guys in a high-rise.
Some good information 💁♀️ thank you
I’m generally salty, but you have nothing to do with that. Great advice on car interiors. Thanks!
Once I had a Plymouth Neon company car..it came with a water leak fresh from the factory..😉
Public DISLIKE for not working on the mustang, but I like the Video for the info.
MOAR WORK ON MUSTANG!!!!
Worst is spilling a bong...it's soaked in the sponge underneath the carpet
Thank you for this info!!
You scared me. I thought it was going to be how to dry an interior on a Ford. You had to start pushing it today so I can get maximum airflow off the cliff.
Those you just light on fire! 😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@vehcor 😆. Bought a brand new 1991 Ford F-150 with 12 miles on it. There were two miles from the dealer to get on major highway and the piston disintegrated in the block. After several days of arguing. I want you to Chevy dealer across the street never look back.
Only Ford I have is my 66 Mustang
@@vehcor I'm in Texas let's leave them in the hot sun with the windows rolled up they will combust automatically. Hahaha
Tim Turner - That’s terrible! I always thought pretty highly of the “brick nose” F-150s. Amazing that they’d try and argue with you when your truck (clearly) was still under warranty. Plus, why would someone INTENTIONALLY blow up their brand new pickup truck before it even reached home? Unacceptable on their part.
Mr. Smiley wasn't in this video? Did he got stuck somewhere?
Whoa.... Tuesday??
I’m full of surprises! 😂
@@vehcor so full! Thanks for the video!!
Anyone that keeps asking about the mustang could contribute to the cause. Old hot rod parts cost big bucks.
