Silica gel should finish dehumidifying the car nicely though, which will help with misting/icing up inside in this weather.

i did it to a car not long ago and it dried it really well

#20: Re: Whole new level of quiksilver!! Author: MNARAA, Location: In a traffic jamPosted: Mon Dec 20, 2010 3:59 pm ---- Perhaps putting a snowman in the passenger seat so you could use the car sharing lane wasn't such a good idea...

Nah lol, hes never ever been in this car yet. I have thought about drilling the floor so it can drain away.

Nope, always make sure they are shut at night. Purely to stop things like this happening.

I already have, and my mate whos a mechanic but he cant use it for things like this at his garage, it is purely for them to valet cars.

The only things in the car that are wet are the carpets and 2 front seats.
No water anywhere els what so ever.

Nope
The car has dried out quite a bit, smells a little now.
Had newspaper on the floors with a towel over the top and newspaper on the seats with a plastic sheet over the seats again to stop me getting a wet a**e.
Apart from that the car is okay
#29: Re: Whole new level of quiksilver!! Author: Devon-Derv, Location: Paignton, DevonPosted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:28 pm ---- Get someone to pour some water over the car and sit inside and watch where the waters coming in. You might want to wear armbands and a snorkle as a precaution
#30: Re: Whole new level of quiksilver!! Author: Marni..206, Location: S. DevonPosted: Wed Dec 22, 2010 2:40 pm ---- I had a hose and power washer on it today too see. Didnt drip in anywhere. I went around all the seals and everything to work it out. But there was nothing indictating a leak, was as though someone had poured it in
