Flooded Swiftie

[Yc86]

argghhh....

 

parked my car yesterday evening and left the sun roof open by mistake (just raised it, didn't slide it).. then it rained very heavily later and about 30mins later...

 

i felt weird and realised that i forgot to close it and quickly ran to the car.. but it was too late..

 

there were puddles of water on both seats.. and the carpeted floor which already kinda stinks were wet... the rear was also wet and the cloth i put behind all stinks..

 

 

tried to air it today.. scared mould n bacteria will grow in the carpeting.. then stink up the whole car... how?

I think can remove all the seats and air it outside

bro i think there's a vacuum cleaner which can suck up water in e market and u can put some charcoal in yr car cause its can absorb e stinky smell in yr car

throw away existing car mats and for the original carpet..use hairdryer..and best go under afternoon hot sun to dry...then spray some freshener after completely dry...bobian

Use Thirsty Hippo...it's very good, I always got 1 in my car. I tink in your case, you need a few.

wah, ...

just send your car for steam clean. I think that will help.

But how's the electronics?

Hope they didn't get short circuited.

Bro, sorry to hear about it Like Bro Hoppe had said, try steam clean

How is your car now? Dried already?

[Mivec9]

u r a good digger

[Odyssey02]

try the fridge deodorizers at ntuc. $7 for one. very good stuff. i put one in my ody. keeps the new car smell. and like all jap stuff, it has ANTI-BACTERIAL properties.

 

you better get your carpets dried properly. my old merc rusted cuz i drove through a flood and water came in supposedly.

[Yc86]

yup... dried.. i took out the rear seats to dry.. n never put them back again

 

took out the rear foot carpet, and threw away. and vacuumed the carpet under the mat. was surprised when i removed the mats, the bottom was still wet.

 

and popped a thirsty hippo inside.. dunno if it'll compare to the jap brand.. but that's all i hav.. run out of charcol also.

 

also put a lemon smell thingy... haha. now, quite okay liao

 

thanx ppl~

[Skin711]

maybe also can put pandan leaves to get rid of e semlly thingy

Hey where did you install the after market sunroof?

 

Any bad effects except the one you just faced?

[Lgt1977]

maybe u want to ask ur tech to hook up ur sunroof in such a way that everytime u shutoff ur engine it will close ur sunroof also?

[Gadgeter]

another than charcoal..

 

Best to remove your seats to air it.
