Does Water on the Vehicle Floor Affect the Car?

[SanWalker]

It is necessary to completely remove the floor and carpet, then dry the carpet in the sun and wipe the water off the floor. This will not affect the car. However, if the water under the carpet is not properly dealt with, the floor may rot over time. Failure to address water on the car floor can lead to rusting and mold growth of internal components. Below is an extended explanation: 1. Drain the water as soon as possible: If there is water inside the car, it should be drained immediately. There is a rubber drain plug at the bottom of the floor—remove it to drain the water. 2. Identify the source of the leak promptly: Check whether the car floor is deformed and if the surrounding rubber seals are damaged, then mark the affected areas. 3. Ventilate by opening covers: Remove internal items from the rear and open the covers to air them out for about an hour to prevent mold and rust.
