Just popped down my parents, where I'm storing my escort, to find it's had a bit of a leak. I've managed to air it out and dry the carpets but the sound deadening is soaking. Any tips for drying it out or is it going to be an interior out job?

Thanks

 

Buy a dehumidifier from B&Q and put it in the car for a couple of days.

 

Old man reckons he's tried that. I might ask the guy at the local body shop if I can pop it in his oven for a bit?

 

Borrow a wet and dry vac and suck the water out? Other option is put a fan heater in the boot with the parcel shelf out.

 

Also, invest in some of those moisture remover buckets, they are filled with little moisture absorbant crystals that will suck any moisture from the air, and from the vehicle itself. They don't cost too much, and can be bought from various DIY stores.

 

Good shout! Once it's dry I'll get a bunch n scatter ther around. Nice one guys

 

i'd take the seats and carpet out and let it dry, the underlay will be dogey and take months to dry out
best to put the rear wheels on something so any water that gets to the car ont settle in the battery tray and fusebox with it being tipped forward
