Hi all, I always thought I smell something whenever I get into my car. It was a damp smell. Moist smell. Suspecting that perhaps the floor mats may not have been dried properly after a car wash, I bend down to touch it. To my disbelief, the whole mat was soaking wet. And when I flipped up the mat, I found my floor carpet soaking wet too. I thought to myself, there is no way that a not properly dried floor mat would cause such a mayhem. I then checked the passenger's side. It was totally dry. So what could have contributed to this? A leaky under carriage? Water from wet roads sipping up? Funnily, only the driver's side were affected (both front and rear). Yet, I do not remember spilling any water. Neither do I have kids who may have caused it. Anyone with similar problem? Now I wonder where should I go to get this sorted. Appreciate any advice that can help me on this. Thanks.

Yesterday, the open air car park where I had parked my car was flooded after a heavy downpour. I can tell this from the whole bunch of leaves and twigs stuck inside my bodykit front lip, even though the floodwater have already receded by the time I went back to my car. My car is not lowered. To my dismay, I found my entire floorboard soaked, though it's just limited to the floorboard. My boot which is just a little higher is dry. Engine so far still ok. I put tons of newspaper on the floorboard, opened the windows a little and left it to dry overnight. This morning I had to change my newspaper again as it was totally soaked. I actually smsed Maddriver who kindly advised me to sun it, which I'm trying to do now as the sun had just come out in the afternoon. But I can't do it for long as I need to use the car today to run errands. Apart from the fact that high chance the floorboard will get mold and start to smell, I'm also worried if places will start to get corroded. Can anyone recommend a workshop to get things checked out and better still, take out the floorboard covering to get it sanitized? I've searched through quite a few car forums but couldn't find any workshop recommendation Thanks in advance.
