Thats good to know. I bought the seatglovers though so my seats are still a bit wet.

Gonna have to pull the seatglovers off as well, damn this is annoying.

Might be worthwhile to invest in a quick cover or something like this

I had to take the carpets out in the spring, all the melting snow over the winter must have been frozen in there, once it warmed up, my carpets were always wet.

Let them dry in the sun and your go to go.

Well I pulled out all the carpet in about an hour and a half. I didn't need to make any cuts I just pulled really hard on the "pre-cut" areas under the front seats.

The amount of water draining out of them was insane, had no idea i'd have 2 inches of water soaked in them.

Now that I have the carpet out its making me think about leaving them out or line-x'in the Jeep.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

Well to give everyone an update I got the carpet back in 2 days ago and I was able to put it back in with no problems in about 40 minutes.

The carpet is dry, clean, and smells great.

Thanks for everyones input and suggestions!

Yeah sadly. I didn't know what I was doing and moved slowly to make sure I didn't mess anything up.

But if I had to do it again I could get it out much quicker.

Why are you cutting anything?

Carpet comes out easily with no cuts.
