How to Deal with Water Under the Car Mats?
2 Answers
Water under the car mats should be cleaned up and dried in time. Here is an introduction to car mats: 1. Introduction to car mats: Car mats are an environmentally friendly automotive interior component that integrates five main functions: water absorption, dust absorption, stain removal, sound insulation, and protection of the main carpet. Car mats are part of the interior decorations, protecting the cleanliness inside and outside the car, and adding aesthetic and comfortable touches. 2. Functions of car mats: The thick base material can block noise from the chassis and tires, improving driving comfort. Flocked car mats can also absorb residual noise and echoes from the car audio system, protecting hearing from damage.
A few days ago, I found water accumulated under the floor mats in my car. I quickly removed them, poured out the water, and used a towel to absorb the remaining moisture. I suspect it was because I forgot to close the windows tightly during rainy weather. Later, upon inspection, I discovered that the door seal strips had aged and cracked. I cut a piece of bicycle inner tube to patch it up. Now, I always pay extra attention to the drainage channels when driving in the rain. Remember not to be lazy and just air-dry the floor mats—you also need to lift the carpet underneath and use a hairdryer with hot air to dry it thoroughly, otherwise, the musty smell can become unbearable. If there's too much water and even a pump can't handle it, you'll have to take it to a repair shop to remove the seats and floor panels for proper treatment.
