Kitty litter or something better?

[Eighteeteewhy]

I've recently had a leak on the soft top but it's now fixed. However the car is still a little damp inside, I've heard kitty litter in a sock works well, or is there better?


Cheers

In winter you're better off sitting with the hair dryer, cat litter will take bloody ages, those chemical ones are better but make sure it's gel based so it doesn't pour out. If it's a 2 seater you could pop the seats out maybe?

Aldi / Liddle dehumidifier on an extension lead.

I had something similar a blast from London to Birmingham with the heating on full blast and pointing towards my feet with the passenger window cracked open

What this guy said. You can buy a cheap dehumidifier from Amazon for ~£20. Leave it running overnight, and Bob is your mother's sibling.

You can get throwaway chemical dehumidifiers typically 2 for £1 in most pound shops - stick one in each footwell. Remember to take them out before moving the car though - the water they catch has traces of whatever chemical is in the absorbent chips, if this spills it seems to leave marks on carpets & is very slow in drying. Alternatively, buy a reusable one & just empty it & replace the chips every few weeks.

I use a pingi dehumidifier bag. Recharge by microwaving and drying it out.

Silica gel cat litter works if the car is just damp, you can heat it up in the oven if you want to re-use it. If the carpets are wet then use a wetvac to get as much out as you can first.

I keep a Unibond 360 in the Elise footwell, seems to catch quite a bit of moisture considering the car is not outside.
