  1. Thank you for your concern and good suggestions. I was told I am not the only idiot to do this, so I hope it might help someone else. Yes, copious amounts of water on my front leather seats and underneath, where the Eyesight Module was bolted down. After shop vaccing it, and towels, I did my best to dry it out with no garage and raining outside, again! I got creative and threw a big tarp over top, secured it not too tight and rolled the windows down a bit with a little airspace. Blew the heater full blast for an hour, checking on it. It actually seemed to do a decent job with the carpeting, but under the carpet was a different story. I realized I needed more help. Now I have great news!! Problem solved!! Best decision ever to get professional help. I found a local detailer who pulled out the seats and carpet and gave it a mold remediation treatment, just in case. He even took out the Eyesight module to see if it would dry overnight. He did an amazing job on a holiday weekend and even delivered the car! It is not only showroom clean and dry, with an enzyme treatment to prevent future mold issues, but the best part? No promises, but all the electronics work now!! Eyesight, airbags, everything! He had the right equipment and experience with a great, family attitude. He quoted between $300-400 and went the extra mile for only $350! I thought it would cost thousands to replace and pay a dealership. Now I can cancel my appointment. I feel very blessed and plan to pay him extra.
  2. Like an idiot, I left the 2018 Forester moonroof open during a downpour! Now features of Eyesight gradually quit working, also airbags. Can they dry out and be repaired? If not, what will new cost? I bit the bullet to hire a great detailing pro who had a cancelation to take out the seats and carpet to clean and dry everything, on a holiday weekend, no less. The dealership couldn't get me in until Tuesday. Not holding my breath electronics will be working by then, probably toasted. Should I wait to take it in to give it more time to dry out just in case? I would appreciate any advice.
