The passenger axle was not that difficult to remove...much more room on that side to bang around.

Ha, but one way or the other, them twig axles were coming out

LOL!

Now I can get back to my harness nest

Went to pick up my car that’s been in the shop after a student did a hit and run on it. Went something like this this rainy morning:
“Hello, unfortunately we left the windows down in your car and it’s filled with water. We sent it out to be detailed. Very sorry.”

That's going to take more than a detail...

i would make sure that's well documented... there's a lot of wiring on the floorboards...

Filled with water is a hyperbole but fuckin shit! The alcantara doesn’t appreciate being exposed to a downpour. My window switches and electrical harnesses certainly don’t. What sort of stuff should I be thinking about?

if you're there via an insurance claim, make the insurance aware of it. it's related to the repair.

First, what @soundman98 said. This is part of the insurance claim. I guess it would depend on how much water there really was, but my biggest concern is they dried out everything well including seats and carpet. Probably should be done by removing the interior.

Make sure the insurance company knows if they don't already.

I personally wouldn't think about anything. Some nice clean rain water is going to be a pain to get out but isn't going to cause you much issue. Sure stuff will be wet but that can be sucked out and dried up with no real lasting effects.
Now if it was dirty flood waters that got into all you connectors then that would be a different matter.

So glad not to be driving a CUV with a cvt anymore. Got my car back this evening. Long push in the track button and a bit of the long way home to forget how dull that fucking rental was. Now to get reimbursed for everything.

I would consider the base carpeting getting wet and in turn potentially causing mold growth underneath to be a "real lasting effect."

Correct.

Who knows what problems could creep up and how long it will take them to surface. Then years down the line you'll have to prove it was due to the water and the company might no longer be in business.

I would attempt to get replacement price for the vehicle.

You obviously never drove a convertible.
A one time soaking from some nice clean rain that doesn't sit for a long period is not an is not an issue.
It is a car not a Mogwai.
