Help! Cabin drains?

1629 Views 6 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  Merope
My 5 yr dumped a whole 150 oz container of laundry detergent then proceeded to try to clean it up which involved a hose. I used the shop vac and got up as much as I could but heat water sloshing when I drive. Are there floorboard plugs I can open to help get the water out. I really concerned about mildew. Carpet is still fairly wet. And yes I gave away my kid. Jk.

If you have a dehumidifier put it in your car. It is amazing how much water they can collect. A friend loaned me his when we had a water pipe leak in the house and it drew out all the water from under the hardwood floor.

Dehumidifier sounds like a great idea, as well as more supervision..

The detergent got dumped while I was driving and he got the hose when I took the baby inside to get his bottle. He was trying to help. I’m doing the best I can. Guess not up to your standards.

Great idea. We have one. Thank you!!!
Just don't leave the lift gate open overnight while its in there or you may wake to a dead battery.
^^^ depends on the year and whether you've had TSB 07-155-19R performed, which solved the open tailgate battery drain issue in my '19 Premium.
