2004 GMC Yukon XLT with wet rear passenger floor carpet

[testdepth]

If I yank it out I'll have to pressure wash it! 4 kids can do a job on carpet.

I wouldn't yank it out if it's just the rear but I would try to dry it out soon if it were me. IMHO

Mold grows fast and can make kids sick


Needs to be removed and in sun to dry

Parking it in the sun for a day with the windows cracked a little should dry it out
It will get a million degrees inside

Put a dehumidifier in the car for several days. This is the only way to get it dry without removing the carpet.

Good idea. Also if the drains are now clear
You could just let the car idle all day with the AC on max. Drawing air from inside the car should do a good job of dehumidifying it

Not really the same. Warmth dries the air better than cold.
You could probably pay for the dehumidifier by the time you let your car idle for a week.

I have done this to numerous vehicles. I have also tried all the other remedies, that are not really remedies at all, just a waste of time that leave you with a wet dog smelling vehicle.

Are you certain only the back is wet. I have seen front drains stop up and it run under the carpet and puddle in the back.
