Carpet, Cloth and Rain -- Mold / Mildew Issue? How to Dry Out?

[mlcinema]

Hello All,

I have a quick question about the cloth interior, the carpet, and getting caught in the rain.

Maybe this isn’t a concern, but is there any reason to worry about mold or mildew if one would get stuck in heavy rain with the top and doors off?

Will leaving it dry in the sun be the solution? I’m guessing this isn’t a concern with the BD or BL with the vinyl and wash out floors.

Thank you.

I would worry more a bout rust. Here's a thread about someone with an abnormal amount of rust inside the Bronco.

I would really check the weather if you plan on taking the top/doors off. Carpet/upholstery can be cleaned, but rust will eventually cause significant damage.

Those damp rid buckets that you’d use in the house can be helpful too. GF convertible had a leak, that helped quite a bit.

I leave a damp rid bucket in my van all winter. It sucks up all the snow from boots and skis that leave a nasty funk if I don’t leave the damp rid bucket in there.

There are lots of moisture absorbers that might look cooler or fit better in the bronco. I’m thinking under the rear seats is a good spot.
