It looks like the car was serviced before I bought it and I don’t know what they did but the entire passenger side looks like it was messed with. The rear seat wasn’t tighten down all the way, the wiring harness under the seat wasn’t plugged in all the way, and one of the clips that holes in the carpet is missing. This is too little care even for a home job.I suspect it was a really lazy shop job and they completely decided not to put the hose back in. Without pulling up the carpet I’m not sure how anyone would’ve even known to look when I had the car inspected, and I certainly wasn’t going to go around pulling the carpet up when I was looking to purchase. Just a shitty situation

Sorry you have to deal with that. I just got done getting mold/mildew out of my car's passenger footwell carpet after a wet track weekend.
I put the "sandbags" I used to hold down my ez-up in the passenger footwell because it was raining when I loaded up. I dried out everything in the trunk but just forgot about the stuff in the footwell, and they were soaked. They are black like the carpet -- probably why I didn't notice them.
When I next checked on the car a week later there was quite a bit of mold/mildew. Mine was just in the carpet though (rubber backed so it didn't soak through into the foam), so some vinegar treatments and then baking soda followed by some carpet shampoo cured mine.
I agree with removing the seat though - the 4 bolts and the wiring connectors and you can get it out and have more room/and get the carpet up.
Good luck.
