That is a tough thing to fix .. this time of year. Especially if you dont have a garage - I hope you do ! I purchased a 2005 ARC flood car this spring ... and fixed it up. The carpets were soaked in this car also ... and IMO .. there is no way to completely dry without removing everything. There is sound deadening material under the seats. So, out came everything. The seats (front and rear) and even the center pillar. You cant take the carpet out of the car (without cutting it) .. without removing the center pillar .... because there is a section of carpet that runs underneath the pillar. However, you could probably "lift" the carpet enough to get air underneath to dry everything. If you dont bring the carpet inside to dry ... you will need to blow warm air over it for a few days ... to get it to dry. Where your feet are ... you also need to pull the padding there away from the firewall and blow warm air up underneath there to dry that. The glovebox was outta my car .. but I cant remember if I had that out for the carpet ... or someting else. The seats - just 4 bolts at front and back of each track to remove .. .unhook the electrical connector(s) ... unbolt the seatbelt from the seat frame ... and thats it. Alot of work - for sure. You wont get it done in a day. And before you start - make SURE you have eliminated the reason it all got wet in the first place. You are lucky that the TWICE unit didnt crap out on ya ... thats what usually happens on fllod cars (mine included) .. because it is located on the floor under the drivers seat. A little water soaks it ... and its done for. Email me if you want to know more.
