New thing I learned about this car..
I drove into an extremely deep puddle, with water going above the mid hood. I made it through, the (2014)WRX, (1999?)Camry and (2004?) ford focus did not make it... They all got flooded engines, I got 2-3 inches of water inside my car. So best way to dry out completely soaked carpet in a car???

The carpet may be the least of your problems. I would disconnect the battery, leave the doors and hood open (preferably in a conditioned space with reduced humidity), and remove the carpeting to fully dry out the floor and any affected wiring. A large fan positioned to blow into the car might help.
It might be helpful to warm up the engine thoroughly before doing the above steps to help dry things out. |

It's been about 10 hours since it happened. Car runs fine, no noticeable problems.

Ya just keep a good circulation of air through it. If you can control temperature, avoid colder air.

You need silica beads like you get in a shoe box. Someone mentioned the product. Comes in a little tub. If it stays damp long it will stink or get mouldy.

Perhaps learning not drive into such big puddles would be a good idea after doing so in so many cars.
