Shitty situation..

Almost happened to my Suburban once.. Both sets of keys were with someone else, and the two front windows were wide open, and it started to downpour... At least we knew it was raining, so we were able to close it up with blankets and tarps.

does it classify as flood damage? lol

or stupidity?

shop vac all the excess out, clea n it all up iwth leather cleaner, lexol is a good one and then treat it with the lexol treatment. Should be fine, unless you are talking way more serious damage, but it sounds like you are just talking about your seats being wet????

last time that happend to me i put a dehumidifier in the car and pulled the carpets up a bit, took out all of the condensation.

to restore the leather try meguires leather something cant think of the name, but instead of armorall type oil just covering it supposedly also treats the leather. when i used to have aleather seats the meguires always brought back a nice color to them even after i lefty my widnows open in snow and rain and such
