Noticed 4 inches of water in my rear passenger footwell this morning. After getting it all out, the floor felt like a water bed. Had to peel back the flooring to find rust soup. Another 2 inches of rusty ass water.

Any ideas?

6 inches of water? I can see maybe 1 inch, but not 6. The water from the previous drive would be all dried up by the time the next drive starts, unless the car is used like a 24 hour taxi.

it does not dry out, only accumulates. too much humidity for any water to evaporate in an effectively sealed container.

after fixing my original issue I needed to wet vac under the carpets, then i left it with a blower with all the doors open, and even after that damp rid after i was sure the car was “dry” but my windows would still fog and it still smelled mildewed
