We bought our S60 from a dealer a week ago. It was pouring down rain. During the test drive we noticed water on the floorboard of the passenger side. The dealer used a wet/dry vac to get it cleaned up and then it was barely damp.

Today I checked under the seat and the floorboard in the rear. The carpet is soaked.

Do you have any ideas about how to get this dried up?
I'll try my wet dry vac. Do you think I need to pull the carpet up?

Thanks

 

If I were you, I would check your coolant level. One reason it may be wet is because your heater core is leaking... You should smell it and soak it up with a paper towel and see what color it is. If it's green, that's antifreeze and that's really bad news.

If you have a sunroof, that could be leaking too. But it shouldn't just be wet for no reason.

 

Coolant level is OK. Did the paper towel test^ and the carpet does not have an odor. I pulled the carpet out in the front and it has a very thick, dense foam attached to it. It was soaking wet and very heavy...don't see how a shop vac is really going to help here.

I've been trying to remove the cover on the A pillar (which runs by the windshield) to see if the sunroof drain line is clogged, but have not been able to figure out how to remove it.

Anyone know how to do that?

 

Don't have to. Just blow it clear with compressed air.
