Answer 1

Remove the carpeting turn it outside upside down then remove the cotton padding hand the carpet over a fence to dry completely then find a automotive upostery shop to but the cotton padding. Gray in color that looks like ground up yarn and thread colors thru the matt. Getting the carpet out in one piece is important because it is formed with heat to the snape of the floor. Seats consols and side trims kick panels all have to be remover good time to rewire the sterio. Look into the price of a factory carpet and you will not let your carpet get wet again. Keep bleach away from carpet and padding it breaks down the yarn pyle. Lysol the floor and open the truck up in the sun with all the doors and windows down

Answer 2

On a hot brezzy day put the vehicle in the sun and leave the windows open,you may have to do this for muliple days .If the carpet still won't dry you may have to remove the carpet from the vehicle to dry.If the capet has underpadding that may also have to be removed and dried out.If you continue to have dampness problems you may have a leak somewhere.but that's a hole new story.
