Last night a gallon of water spilled in my trunk area. Almost all the water went into the back seat and was soaked up by the foam liner underneath the seat. I took the seat out today and let it sit in the sun but the foam liner seems to be logged with water. Since the foam is glued down and hard to remove without tearing does anyone know if I can just rip it out and replace it with dynamat?

Not sure about the liner, but I would make sure no water got into your spare tire well... the MPM is there and you will see many threads here about water issues and all the electronic problems as a result!

Fist thing I checked. I was lucky as most of the water poured into the back seat.

I just got done having this stupid problem. I had water on the right side, both front abd back floor board. I took off seats and saised the carpet and dried as much as I could with towels, then I bought a small 15 dollar heater from walmart and dried it in sections. I ended by spraying fabrees and putting everything back together.
