My interior is all original and in perfect shape except two small separations in the driver seat material.
I would like to clean (maybe wet vac) my carpets but I worry about introducing moisture into the carpet/interior. Should I take it all out to do it and just make sure it's dry before reinstalling? Also, any fix tips for the two small separations on the driver seat? Attached thumbnail(s)

Remove it all from the car.
I washed my 1970 tan carpet with laundry detergent using hot water and a scrub brush in the driveway..... more than 20 years ago..... and got decent results. Ever since, there were two large spots that I thought were permanent stains. I've since learned that my wife is a stain wizard. She suggested using a carpet cleaner and stain remover !!! Imagine that. Same thing..... carpet out... warm sunny day.... carpet cleaner, warm water, garden hose to rinse, hang to dry..... Voila ! they look great and the spots are gone. There is also a Dollar Store variety of this stuff Attached thumbnail(s)
