If you're one of the posters who thinks your trunk is really hot, lift up the right side of the carpet and flooring to see if you have some coolant on the trunk floor  . |
If your carpet got wet it would be a better heat conductor vs. insulator. The dampness probably didn't heat it up only allow it to absorb heat. Kind of like when your welding and have gloves on, and then you hold your hot part under water to cool it off only to splash water on your glove and then the heat transfers through the moisture and burns your hand.
