Was there any noticeable wetness under the carpet? Or any surface rust like there may have been wetness at some point?

Check the water leaks section in the first post...

Yeah, checking for any moist areas on the carpet and any rust on the floor would be good while your carpet is out. Also check around wiring and grounds to make sure this is no corrosion.

3 inches of water under my carpet is why I ripped my interior out. That was back in September - it's still mostly apart even now. :lol: I've put everything on hold now until Spring gets here.

If you can, I think you have above freezing temps, maybe just test this water leak since you have the carpet out. Spray some some water up under the doors, mimic driving in puddles.

Did SEs come with sunroofs? Test te drains while you have have carpet out if you do...
