Default Sun roof left open in the rain

I did a search for this problem but found nothing. The sun roof was left open throughout a rainy night. Carpets and headliner are drying well, but the leather seats remain damp. Suggestions? TIA

buy some chemical dehumidifiers at your local hardware store and put them in the footwells

Default Don't sit on the seat!!!

I did this a few times and my drive's seat leather became stiff from sitting and using it too soon after the rain.

As my wife said..It is leather.. the cow stays out in the rain and dries off when the sone comes out.

After a day of drying.. get a really good leather conditioner and soak the leather.. some say to cover it in saran wrap to let the oil of the conditioner soak into the leather for a day or so.

Default Re: Depending on how much rain you may want to lift the carpet in a couple of

areas to make sure it's dry underneath. Don't want any mold.
