Interior Car Repair From Rain Spoilage

Have you ever made the mistake of keeping your car windows open only to find out that it rained during the night? You can usually tell that there is a problem if you open your car door and get this really nauseating smell.

Some of the things that you should immediately think about include whether or not you have insurance for rain damage and if you should consider calling a professional car repairer.

Think about the reason why you left your car window open in the first place. If it is more than just a matter of forgetting - for instance the windows won't roll back up - then you need to get this fixed right away.

The worst thing, in my opinion, about wet car interiors is the way they smell. Get a couple of odor bombs to get rid of this. A good quality mold remover should also do the trick.

You can go to a professional cleaner to get the upholstery and the carpet cleaned. See to it that they use an odor remover.

If you wish to do the car interior repair on your own, take out the wet seats and the wet carpets. Extract water from these, you can find a water extractor that is being rent out. If you cannot find any, a vacuum can work fine.

Vinegar should be able to help you with the odor from the seats. Take them with you inside the house so you can find a warm room to dry them in. If you can no longer dry the seats, consider getting new ones or at least have them reupholstered.

Once you have dry carpets and dry seats again, inspect if there is any odor left. You can do the same thing you did in step one and use more odor bombs.

See to it that the car floors have not rusted. Use a sealant to keep rust from accumulating.
