I’m in Florida and downpours happen out of nowhere constantly. Had almost an inch about 30 minutes ago - now the suns blazing hot. I have not had a convertible since the early 90s, and that was a 5 second one handed job to close the top. With the Bronco, I’m sure to get drenched within the first week of owning it. With my experience so far, even a half a bottle of water, spilled on the carpet, causes a rank smell the next morning. My concern is what happens when the entire carpet is drenched- smell might be so bad I won’t even be able to enter the garage, let alone my new Bronco. Perhaps the Broncos have a higher grade , water resistant carpet than what’s currently in my 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. But, if it’s at all like the Jeep, I need to avoid getting it wet.I know the rubberized floor has it's purpose but I just can't get past the feeling of it being a work truck. I can shop vac out water from the carpet from occasional miss judgment of weather. I also really want the 12" screen. The only thing I will miss from going from the Black Diamond to the Wildtrak is the rock rails and bash plates.
I want the WildTrak, but need to see what the options are for the carpet- like, if you remove it and expose the metal floor, are you accelerating the chance for rust?
