When Pepsi Attacks! Help please!

So I am driving to work and I take this this one corner sharp as hell. Well my friends and I were cruising the other day so I had a few in the backseat. Well, apparently one of them left a pepsi can back there and I didn't know. So I turn the corner and all of the sudden BAM! I swear I thought I was getting shot at or I blew a tire. But, there were no gun wielding psychos or flat tires so I look at my window and pepsi is dripping down. I am now pissed but I look in the back and see no wet patches. I get out and look under my seat and the damn can completely split in two. It blew up right under the driver seat. I had to goto work so it cooked for a day. HELP! How can I take the seat out and what is the best stuff to use......or take it to dealer or car wash place? Suggestions Please! Thanks!

Is it still wet? Vaccum whatever you can of it up. Pull out the seat and soak the stain up with Tuff Stuff or other car interior shampoo...>Scrub it in good with a brush and vaccum.....If you have a carpet machine, go over the stain and suck the liquid up with the carpet machine...If you dont you have to use the vaccum.

Thanks for the tip. How do I go about removing the seat? I think it's pretty simple but...is it?

As far as I know about removing the seat, find the 4 bolts holding it to the floor and unbolt, and unplug the "Fasten Seat Belt" wire that runs to your dash on the d/s...I had to research this cause I am planning on taking mine out to install my neons under my seats...

haha i have a funny story similar to this..

i dropped my friend off and as i was driving home, i noticed that he left his slurpie in the cup holder(nearly full). i didnt want it, so i roll down my window and start to throw it out, but then i hear a loud BANG and i feel all wet....turns out i rolled down my back window...i had slurpie all over me and my interior,,,actually i thought it was kinda funny...luckily it was pina colada and did not stain..
unfortunatly same cannot be said about the fruit punch that someone spilled in the back floor

Haha that's funny. Same thing happened to me. I had a coupe though, so I threw out a cigarette in the window, and it blew back in and burned a hole in my seat! Good thing for black interiors
