Dump out the water every hour or two. This WILL save your interior. My mom left the sunroof open all day once and it completely soaked the interior of her SUV. Couldn't even tell after the dehumidifier was done.

My friend tried to get through a submerged road thinking it wasn't that deep. It was deep enough to kill his motor and flood his interior. The dehumidifier saved the interior even days after this happened.

I wouldn't use a blow dryer. You're not going to get deep enough with that and you will end up with mildew smells.

A lot of people don't know about these, but they're staples in humid climates. Might be a little more difficult to track one down in LA but it will be worth it.

good tip!

As you said, it wasn't easy to find in LA, but I did manage to track down a dehumidifer at Fry's Electronics. For those of you not on the west coast just imagine a Sears, Radio Shack and Best Buy had a three way, and Fry's was their bastard love child.

It cost me $200, but the sales guy just recommended I use it and bring it back for a refund. I found cheaper alternatives on the internet, but my windows are already heavily condensing moisture on the inside, so I wanted to get on it right away. I may or may not take his advice regarding returning the unit. It depends on if I can find another use for it.

I'll let you know how it works. I also plan on bringing this problem up with the dealer when I take it in for an oil change.
