Unhappy Help! I Left Window Down (rain)

i know i am gonna get bashed for this but i took a drive earlier this morning while it was overcast, i had the window rolled down 1/4 way. about 1 hour later it started raining, it wasnt a heavy rain but it was heavy enough to soak the drivers seat and door panel! how do i dry it before it mildews? or do i just let it dry itself and pray for no mildew odor?

the ac will pull the moister
so you should use it for a while to grab as much of the moister as you can.

thats why its good to use it when you defrost.

okay i dried as best i could and have left the windows up and the A/C on and the windows up. i think it will turn out okay i sat in the car with basketball shorts on to test the wetness and i got up moist but not wet hopefully the A/C will dry it all out. just a side note: i hope this works i dont wanna have to smell cat **** and mildew (3-4 weeks ago a cat jumped in the car and pissed all over the back floor) man this makes it seem as if i mistreat the EVO, which i dont.

Vac. all the water you can get out of it. Then just let it air dry. Putting the ac on if it's cold out is just going to make it take longer. If you wana be **** you can blow dry the seats. It's not going to smell. Leave the car in the sun and the windows open all day.
