so i dropped the camaro off to get the cats replaced for free, the car gets finished so i go to pick it up yesterday and they left the window down and it rainded 5" the night before. there was standing water in the floor, the service director had the ***** to tell me it was because my T-tops leak ( they do not leak) so after i chewed his *** they agreed to replace the carpet and head liner can anyone think of anything else that i should get replaced?

Talk to your insurance adjuster as well. There could be more that needs to be done to the interior. Hope they get it done before it starts to get mold/mildew in there.

Aw man that sucks! Depending how much water got in I would take that carpet out ASAFP to avoid mold and let the interior dry out completely. I would be there watching them do it and check the parts as they come out. Having worked at a dealership in the past, most Service managers will replace only the bare minimum. So if you had power seats, those motors are probably toast, any moudles such as the SDM under the console, air bags etc. Check em all. Most of the connectors are probably ok if the weatherpacks for the terminals held up. I've worked on cars that had water in 'em and the best thing is get that carpet out fast and let it dry out if there was a lot of water, I hope this helps and good luck!

*EDIT* oh yeah check your door panels and switches for the locks and windows. If they got wet they will probalby corrode and/or short out.

draw up a document for him to sign, to say they will take care of any electrical issues related to this incident.

i definitely wouldn't go back there in the future....get the general manager involved also.

The dealership just called and left me a voice mail. They said the replaced the jute under the carpet. But not the carpet and have let everything dry out and the car is "ready" I'm not buying this at all

There was about a half inch to an inch of standing water in the rear floor board if this gives any idea as to how much water got in

Might have just took the cheap way to a flood title. Contact insurance.

you will have a hard time getting them to replace anything even tho they are at fault. Contact your insurance and have them file against the dealerships insurance, then go pick out your new color....

X 2... or maybe even talk to a Lawyer to see your options.

GeneralsArmy

Not sure if I should post the name but it sounds like buckaroo if you live around here you can figure it out

Oh yeah if your reading this and have a white SS with cme and have your car at this dealership.... Your windows were down

PlowBoy11

They would handing me keys to a new one.

GeneralsArmy

ok so the dealership replaced only the "jute" under the carpet and sprayed the interior with the antimicrobial crap..they tested all of the electrical connections and have agreed to replace any electronic components that fail in the future. im not comepletly satisfied with this but have not had my car for going on 12 days as it is my daily driver im pretty much stuck with this i guess

It will probably be fine if they did that. Don't make such a big deal out of it and enjoy your car.

yeah if they agree to replace any elletrical issues your good, the carpet is fine as long as you dont smell any mildew, I have left my window down more than once and never did anything more than soak up all the water with a towel till it was bone dry, and never had mold or eletrical issues with my doors.

I would say you are fine and probably wont have any long term issues from this

GeneralsArmy

Well the window switch is already ******* up, how am I supposed to "enjoy my car" when the black interior is now grey from the water. There is also a nice deep scratch in the paint where they "removed the seat" just to the right of the dooor

Wow...that's just not fun. Keep going back to them until they fix the problems...if they refuse, it's time to contact the BBB, and perhaps a lawyer.

Service manager sounds like a douche. I'd start escalating until you get answers you like.
