Floor Carpet Drying
If the carpet or the pad or insulator is wet, use the following criteria for drying or for replacing the components:
• For a 1-piece carpet assembly bonded to a cotton or a fiber padding, replace the entire assembly.
• For a 2-piece carpet assembly with a cotton or a fiber padding, replace the padding only. While the carpet is out of the
vehicle, dry the carpet using the method described below.
• For a 1-piece carpet assembly bonded to a foam padding or attached to a synthetic padding, dry the carpet using the
method described below.
• For a 2-piece carpet assembly with a synthetic padding, dry the assembly using the method described below.
Drying Method
1. If you observe puddles of liquid on the carpet face, use a wet vacuum to remove the excess moisture.
2. Blot the face of the carpet with a towel in order to absorb as much moisture as possible.
3. Point a fan at the affected area and air dry the carpet.
