I live somewhere that recently got a lot of rain and my convertible leaked through the tonneau cover into my rear seats cause the drains were plugged, i removed the seats and have them drying but the rear carpets in the foot well of both the driver and passenger side are pretty wet to the touch as well when i get my hand under the carpet i can tell the foam which is a couple inches thick has absorbed a lot of water when i squish it what is the best way to go about drying out the carpet to avoid getting a mildewy moldy smell, ive tried with a shop vac a bit and squeezing out what i can from the carpets but their still fairly wet is there anything i can do without attempting to pull up the carpets and fully drying everything?
