I parked my car in the driveway on Thursday last week, and did not drive it
all weekend, It poured rain all weekend.  I got in it this morning and the
carpet on the drivers side front and back is really wet, like squishy wet.
I pulled some towels out of my garage and got out as much as I could, while
my car warmed up a little bit.  I was able to trace the leak down to the
hole for the hood release, the rubber gasket is ripped.  I was going to use
some silicone sealant to fix the whole.  Does anyone have any other ideas?
Also do you know what I can do to dry the car out faster?  I don't want to
get mold or anything growing in there.

TIA

Nate
