I had an aftermarket sunroof installed in a car. It flipped up or came out
completely. One hot summer day I had it laying in the back seat while we
went into a bar for some beverages. A dark, noisy bar. I never noticed that
one of those summertime torrential downpours had come through while we were
inside.

There was standing water on the seats and floor. The ride home really sucked.

Of course, the next few days were hot, humid and rainy so I couldn't keep
the car open to dry out. It really began to smell. Fortunately what followed
next was a few days of nice weather. I borrowed a bunch of fans and set them
up in my driveway, eventually drying the car out.


Worked on one car, a Dodge 600 ES convertible with a glass rear window that shattered cause the fool had a set of golf clubs in the back seat. Left it in the rain for months. Eventually the carpets actually grew little mushrooms


SWMBO's Honda Element has rubber floors. Extremely easy to keep clean, but
ironically, she wanted a carpet mat for the driver's area.

Actually, it makes sense. When the snow/salt would melt off of her boots,
it would puddle under her feet on the rubber floor. The carpet mat absorbs
the mess.

On the flip side, the dog hates the rubber floor. The material was made to be
slippery (almost feels oily, but it's not) so the dog can't get a grip when
jumping in or out.
