Unhappy I left my sunroof open and...

Today I unknowingly left my sunroof open (wide open) when I got out of my car. I went in to take a nap...and of course it rained on it for about an hour to an hour and a half before I realized it.

What do I do? I took towels and dried everything off....but is there anything else I can do? Will this harm my leather? Ahhhhhh I am going to hit myself....

Use a wet dry vacuum on the rug otherwise you may start to get a mildew odor in the car. Once you get that odor its hard to get rid of.
Try to suck all the excess water that has settled beneath the carpet, you may have to even lift the carpet a little so it dries out good. Try to leave all your windows open so it dries out but obviously not in the rain.
:eek:

Also moisturize your leather seats with a good conditioner as soon as possible.


Good luck!
