Was past time to deal with the results of the leak in my Echo. Pulled up the mat and sucked the water out of the padding. Got about half a gallon out of it before I called it quits on that method, and switched over to having a heater blow warm air over it.
Haven't been able to find the source of the leak. She could sit out in the rain for weeks and still be dry. Then I go and start using it regularly and the carpet eventually came up wet.
Think I found it though! There's a rubber plug right in the area affected most. It shifted and actually lifted up a bit when I was sucking the water off it! The darn thing shrunk so much it can slide side to side by nearly quarter of an inch, and lift up maybe an eight. My current theory is that the waster is being pushed up around it while driving.
Gonna seal that and the other plug under there real good when it's dry!
