Water inside seat speakers
Water inside seat speakers
Had a surprise rain shower today while i was working with the sunroof wide open. I haven't tried them out but does anyone have a suggestion for how to dry them out? Won't be the end of the world if i have to upgrade them as one of the driver seat ones is already funky sometimes

Re: Water inside seat speakers
Big ol bags of rice? Like people do for small electronics? lol. That's rough.
I had this happen once to me when I was a teenager. Got home from school, left my Subaru Legacy windows open and went to take a nap before I had to go to the local grocery store for work (ahh, the days of making $6.50/hr lol). While napping, out of the blue, a torrential downpour happened and woke me up. I ran outside to close the windows only to find puddles in the car on the dash, etc. Took me a while to dry everything up with a rag (no electronics were harmed luckily). In the process though, I hit the clock an hour forward so to make matters worse, I thought I was an hour late to work ahahaha.

I propose air movement, and a lot of it. Get a big ole fan and direct it in the car with the windows open, maybe even through that fateful sunroof.
If you can remove the speaker grilles, use a dry rag to soak up the puddles then let the air work for you. I imagine you have water in other unwanted places along with the speakers, right?
