I'll run a wire through the rest of them tonight!

Has anyone ever used those chemical dehumidifiers? Like the small buckets you set in the closet etc? I was thinking one or two of those left in the car will help.
Yes I have - I couldn't see any effect what so ever in the car whereas in my power tool cupboard in the garage they worked really well...

I conclude that I'm not storing my power tools in my garage in a good place - and that despite the wet floors in the car (before I fixed the leaks) it wasn't wet enough for these things to work.

In the end I decided to remove the sound deadening on the inside of the floor pan. Some of it was still nicely painted in the colour of the car but underneath water had found its way through and was pooling. It is a ***** to remove. A scraper is best - heat kind of works but I'm sure the fumes are lethal.
