So I took apart my engine compartment about a month ago since I had to get the cylinder head removed and resurfaced since there was a small crack on it. It rained hard during the month of March where I live, and since the compartment was dismantled, the vents for the cabin air were left exposed and they were open since I had them open the last time I drove it. I still kick myself in the butt today not covering the car as I have a car cover for it, but because of that water somehow got into those vents and is now under my feet soaked into the floor. I've gotten rid of as much of it as possible with a wet/dry vac, some rags, and fans but I can still feel some wet spots, mainly on the passenger side. I've heard of some cars having some sort of drain underneath the chassis somewhere, does anyone know if these cars have one and if so where is it?

See if you can rent a dehumidifier that'll fit in your car and run it for a couple days to dry it out.

I found the damp-rid type powder/crystals from the supermarket to be really good - especially in warm weather.

Warning though - they can get hot if there is lots of water so insulate the container with something like polystyrene.

Ripely, can you explain more? Do you know what they're called or where they would be located at the supermarket (laundry area, cleaning supplies area, etc.)?

In Australia its with the laundry/cleaning stuff.

I think "damprid" is an international brand so you will have it as well.

I usually get a refill bag and empty the contents into a baking tray to expose lots of surface area.

I place the tray on a bit of ply or whole newspaper for insulation.

Best if the car is in the sun so it can warm up and get the moisture airborne.
