Urghhhhh! So I picked up some pool supplies because it's gettin' hot down here in Houston... 1 Gal bottle of Algae killer among other various chemicals... and I put it in back cargo area for the ride back to work. First Stoplight comes up red, start to brake and I hear "Phoooomp.... glug glug glug glug glug..." I look back as I am trying to stop for traffic with one arm over the seats trying to right the f'in Algae Killer bottle. By the time I get stopped, half gallon of it is gone. Top popped off as soon as it hit its side. Went right under where the back carpet ends and the molded front carpet begins. Yell obscenities. . Go immediately to the diy car wash and spend the best $.75 I ever did on the vac... thinking now I got most of it up. I reluctantly go back to work and then get home and start really investigating.
Long story short, end up pulling PS back seat, PS front seat, all trim and carpet up along PS and all the rear carpet and find most of the 1/2 gal in the carpet, felt padding and electrical conduit all the way to the base of the A pillar in the drain channel (think light colored maple syrup). spend the next 4 hours cleaning it out... including the plastic wire conduit that was soaked...(replaced it after cleaning the individual wires). Funny thing is I just put in my medium OME and it has pretty good stinkbug stance that for sure sent all the fluid to the front down the drain channel (my spacers should be here any day...).
Got dark before I could put everything back, but my inlaws are coming in 3 days and tomorrow night is shot for working on it... so I have to put it all back together, Algae stained carpet and all...
So I am thinking this is a great excuse for new carpet and Dynamat to put in during June. Got the Dynamat on ebay tonight and Cdan, I will be calling you tomorrow. Oak, front & Rear carpet sets including wheel arches, 2 Rear cargo hooks (mine are pretty corroded) and Rear Carpet Plate and screws. Probably misc trim connectors as well (along with the other items I mentioned before). Bulk discout perhaps?
Anything else I should do while it is up (besides new Padding/felt)?
Good news is I never have to worry about Algae build up on the PS of my LC!
