I would then fit rubber bungs and seal over. Views? Too agressive a treatment?

It depends on how long you can go without your car but with mine I did a side of the car at a time, took out drivers seat and rear bench, lifted carpet one side at a time, faxed out as much water out the carpet as I could then left it like that to dry, (this was summer so could leave outside with a wind blowing through. Once the sponge was dry repeat on the next side. Once drivers side is done you could drive the car while the passenger side dries out. I also am lucky enough to have a warm garage to help things along too.
While the carpets are lifted hose down the car and check where any water dribbles in to find and seal up your leaks
