in both front doors there are rusted through
holes small but i have tried webbing and bondo but in this new york weather it is not drying does anyone know of a product that will set up faster and hold out the water?

Worst-case scenario: you'll have to replace the jute, if it's all bunched up and crappy-smelling. The carpet itself should be fine, and the jute just glues in. I would rent a good carpet steamer, pull the carpet, steam-clean it and leave it in the sun to dry (assuming you're getting some daylight).

As far as the Bondo goes, could you use a hairdryer to kinda 'help' it along?
