Default How to remove (or at least lift) carpet?

Well, I was struck by the dreaded water leaking into the passenger side footwell while I was on vacation. When I came back after 2 weeks I found almost 1/4 inch of white mold fuzz all over the passengeer side floor mat and the carpet was soaked. I scrubbed the floor mat and carpet to remove the surface mold and used a wet/dry vac to remove as much water as possible. After letting the car sit with the top down all day, the carpet is dry, but when I pull back the front section the padding is still pretty wet.

Does anyone have instructions for removing the carpet on the roadster?

Or at least pulling up the passenger side to let more air into the padding? I don't want to assume that everything is OK, and have more mold growing between the carpet and floorboard.

I will be removing the cowl to clear the drain hole and will probably try to rig a wall that will prevent more water but still let air in the blower.
