Thanks JayBob for the links. The interior removal looks easy and painless.

I'm not sure just because I've never done this and feel like I'm making it a big deal when it's probably cake work.

I had this happen a few times before I found the leak when I got caught in downpours and had to continue. I dried the car out and everything worked OK. Admittedly this was flooding from "below" rather than above, so I do understand your situation is different, but seems to me it would be worth a try...

I bought the car off of a forum member who got the car after it was already soaked and growing mold/mildew. The guy he bought it from loaned it to his nephew to drive to a concert and left the windows and sunroof open after going out partying in the city and the interior and wiring was soaked but could have been saved if someone took it out and dried it. Sadly, too late I believe. It hasn't seen the streets since 2012.
