Default Left top down during quik early morning rain : (

Anyway my seats were soaked along with my cell phone (water damage to cell). And the inside portion of the top had a puddle in it as well...what a way to start the day !!!

You'll need to remove the seats from the car, peel off the leather, and let the foam dry out while you clean off the leather by hand.

Dry it all out NOW. Otherwise it's going to stink. Bacteria will grow in the dark, damp parts.

Leave the windows down to get the air flowing. Pull the seats forward. Turn on the A/C and let it circulate the air around the interior. Stagnate air will promote mildew.
