Leaky vents?
I pulled up the seat and carpet looking for the airbag sensor to fix my airbag issue only to find the insulation soaked.
Do our cars have a leaking problem with the vent if it is left open in the rain while sitting? I have this problem in my 88 Cutlass.
Thanks

It'* either your sunroof drains (if you have one) or your door seals.

Other than that, it will be a hit & miss propostion - trying different things that may help. Could try getting up as much water as possible with a shop vac, or attachment from a carpet cleaner. Raise the carpeting as much as possible to get to the wet pad, and then circulate the air with a fan, or hair dryer.

Okay, I pulled the carper padding and insulation out. The front insulation is soaked... And the rear padding looks moldy. Is it worth drying out or should I just replace it with aftermarket?
The carpet appears to be okay. Aren't there supposed to be floor drains? Mine have blocking plates over them:
