Floor Carpet Drying: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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.
