This morning I was on my way out this morning to find my car had decided to take the aspect of quiksilver to a whole new level and made her very own wave pool... in the footwells.
There was an inch and a half to begin with in the passengers footwell, wasnt till after I took half of it out I decided to take some photos.
All the other footwells were soaked through aswell, even the front seats were wet.
Ive managed to get the water itself out, but when the car is stood for a while its gathers together again.
How do I dry it out completly in this weather??
EDIT: It does normally have the original quiksilver mats in, but I toom them out so I could get the water out, before anyone says why have you got no mats.
Heres the photos I took:
You can see where the water has dripped off the seat and onto the plastic bit.
Passengers footwell, was twice as much in there it originally covered the whole floor.
Thats how deep it was half empty
WAVE POOL!!!
Drivers side, which is quite obvious really lol.
Behind drivers seat.

Im not 100% sure how it happened, ran my hand around the edges of the car and the ceiling but its as though someone has just literally poured it in the footwells and on the front seats.

That was my first thought, but then how do you explain the front seats being soaked, and when you sit on the your ass is wet?
I was staring at it for 15 minutes with my mouth open in shock when I opened the door lol

I hope you get it sorted and it doesnt happen again, I think you are going to need a few.. hundred sillica gel packets in there!
The insides of my dads car windows had ice on them this morning, I bet motor factors are having a great time with this weather

Ant... ive vhecked everything possible. Only the front seats are wet and all the floors. The seat are dry underneath at the back.
My main question is how to dry it out lol, although you guys are probably thinking how do I fix it to stop it happening again

Take the doorcard off, and there will be a white foam sheet on the door which SHOULD be sealed all round the edge- my guess is it aint

Silica gel in bulk? Cat litter! (not the clay sort, the fancy crystal sort).
