When the interior is dry, be sure to apply some leather conditioner.

Depending on how bad it is, you may need to remove he carpet as well.

Sucks man, sorry to hear it. Good luck

+1 . . . Actually, removing the carpeting now might be a good idea. If the carpeting was soaked, you'll likely get a mildew smell, if the carpeting dries in place.

Well, the seats are pretty much dry. The carpets are still wet so I took them out to dry. Interior and passenger seat smells like rain, which isn't pleasant at all. Oh well, I pay the consequences for being forgetful.

Thanks for the tips, guys.

One more thing I forgot to mention to help you (and Johns daughter now)

Go to your local hardware store and buy yourself a small bucket or carton of DampRid. It will help remove any left over moisture that might still be around. I'd put it in the backseat floor or front passenger seat.
