No pics, you're welcome. Anywho, can the rear seat bottom cushions be removed? I want to get to the carpet and sides of the seats with the steam cleaner. Thanks. The smell is not abating.

I'm not sure but a healthy dose of Febreze sprayed liberally might help.

pulling hard on the front edge of the seat lifts them up. though iirc, there's more foam underneath. as well, when snapping them back in, be sure to align the rail to the latches first - otherwise, you can bend the latches if misaligned (esp. if you snap them back in by jumping onto the seat)

That's like throwing cologne on when you really need a shower.

Whenever you're done pulling the seats, and God bless you bc the smell of vomit etc etc, you can detonate a Dakota odor bomb. Worked for me on some serious fonk. Amazon.

Thanks everyone. After some steam, baking soda, and Natures Miracle I think we have it under control. I didn't try to remove be the seat. After our initial panic cleaning we missed a puddle under the rear most part of the seat, which is kind of accessible. The shop vac with some very small household attachments duct taped together sucked out the mess and baking soda. My wife put in the most time with it--God love her.
I had to park it in the sun down in Ft Myers on Wednesday and after five hours closed up, the only lingering odor was Natures Miracle.

Febreeze really didn't help much. Still a good product for other uses.

Note to parents, giving two boys their own (retired) iPhones to play with over the wifi on an hour plus drive may lead to some motion sickness. A few trips on the Dragon Coaster at LegoLand didn't phase them though.
