    Drying out flooded car
    How do you dry out the interior of a flooded car? Have used a shop-vac and pulled the floor mats and carpet. Anything else?

    Park it in a warm heated place with doors open for a few days; then wet vac again. This is going to take a while unless you are patient and use a hair dryer

    Park it facing into the sun and open the windows.

    Even with the carpets out, it take a long time for the carpet backing to dry.
    Hang the carpets up, preferably in the sun, so any trapped water has a chance to drain and then apply patience liberaly
