SLOWBRA is on a distinguished road
Here are the pics of the problem.











It appears the factory line from the sunroof is BEYOND smashed (kinked). I also see evidence of the headliner near the a-piller as being wet (not soaking, but damp). This explains that water must have taken this path down to the floorboard, but I don't see evidence of a hole in the line. I did not try to feel to see if anything was blocking in the line as it was smashed. I believe the line was installed in the incorrect location and smashed for many many years. The drivers side line looks perfect and takes a different path to the a-pillar.

The next urgent questions from me are:
What's the best way to repair this?

What else can I do to ensure the carpet doesn't smell after I get done with this?

I've tried to get as much of the water out from the foam padding, but it's like a sponge. I put some things under the carpet to lift it up so the air can flow with the fan.. Although this will be the second day with the fan and 5th day since it last rained.

Thanks guys.. btw.. I've taken plenty of pics and will continue to do so to help everyone in the future
