The seat belt inspection that I mentioned is to pull the seatbelt all the way out and look for evidence of water. Usually this means staining or mold or even mud. Usually, unprofessional detailers miss this spot.

I like groovemasterodi's point. Both the front and rear being wet is very unusual for the AC or a leak. The floor is broken up into pretty much four compartments and for water to get into all four is rare. Did you buy this from a dealer or a private owner. They may have gone overboard in cleaning it or it may have needed so much cleaning that they got sloppy. A carfax report would verify "reported" flood damage but not unreported damage.

The point made several times is that you need to get the carpet, padding and floor dry. If you can remove the carpet to do this so much the better. If you can't, you need to get air circulating between the padding and the floor. Best if you remove it and make sure that there are no bare spots or rusty spots.

Luck,
Kep
