[s-cars] Lots of water in footwell & how to remove the carpet

[Jeremy Palenchar]

Started in on this problem today.

 

Water seems to be on the driver's side. Mostly in the front but also
traveling to the rear. Passenger side seems to be dry.

 

I tried to figure out where the water is coming from. I removed the cowling
under the hood and stuck a hose in both sides. Water drained out of both
side just fine so I don't think those drains are clogged.

 

I opened the sunroof and ran the hose down the side channel. Water flowed
well from the drains in the A-pillars. I don't think that's the problem.

 

Where else could this water be coming from?

 

Next problem: get the carpet and the rest of the interior dry.

 

I removed the front seats and the consoles from the car.

 

Carpet is essentially free except for the area under the dash right behind
where the stereo would go.

 

Carpet appears to be attached here somehow. How do I get the carpet free in
this area so I can get it out of the car?

 

 

Thanks!
