Don't open the attached picture if you are easily shocked or distressed.

This is what happened to my subwoofer amp when a carpet shampooer I was hauling in the back of my station wagon leaked carpet shampoo that worked its way through the floorboards and onto the amplifier.

Surprisingly, I was able to remove all traces of the damage with Q-tips and some household cleaner. When I was done, it looked just like new.

Of course, it still didn't work.

Blaupunkt fixed it for a flat fee of about $110 plus shipping.

Aaaiiieeee!

This is my worst nightmare. I have amps under the floor in the rear of my Subaru wagon, too. Every time I go skiing I'm afraid when I throw my wet stuff in the back of the car. I need to get one of those rubber bucket mats that fits the back, the factory one was nice but it didn't fit after my subwoofer was installed.

Plastic vapour barrier. A garbage bag, Anything plastic and flexible on top of it might do.

Do you know if they just did a board swap/ unit swap or actually repaired the damaged components?

Maybe all that carpet shampoo will clean that pesky stain in the trunk.
