Gentlemen -
Christmas eve we had some flash flooding here and the work parking lot took in a BUNCH of water. Well, before the sun came up, while driving up the driveway to work, there was a puddle. It looked like your every day puddle that should not have been an issue to drive through and I apparently I was incorrect and at that point worked to turn my car into a submarine.
I'm still of the mind set that they'll end up totaling the car (they've already said it needs a new engine since they drained about 2 gallons of water out of it)....
but my concern is that they're going to replace the engine and give it back to me....which at this point, I really don't want.
I say all of this to ask: The car did get about .25" of water on the floorboards and when I went out there Monday to get some stuff out of the car, it smelled like a swamp in it.
I'm concerned that they're going to say they'll just have it cleaned, but (correct me if I'm wrong), I don't know of a way to clean the carpet where it will resolve the mold/mildew issue outside of replacing the carpet?
Am I correct in my thinking here?
