Wet dry vac as much as possible. Drop the top, leave it parked in the sun with the heater on full blast on the floor setting. Maybe take the seats out to dry under them

If you can, I'd take the carpet out and let it dry in the sun. With the carpet out you can also soak up any water that found its way into any nooks and crevices.

remove floormats and seats; baking soda all the carpet...might take a few boxes. Let it sit for 6-8 hours, vacuum out.

Get a few of these and throw them in your car when you put the top up. Its called DampRid what i used when i left the sun roof open on my Integra. My link

It will help get a lot of the moister out of the air.

Went up to see Billman last month, and among the many gems of wisdom he imparted to me, one was for this scenario. He suggested hitting the AC button, close the top and turn the heat all the way up, fan to full and just let it run for an hour or two. Apparently he's done this before and that technique is designed to completely dry the car.

Might be worth trying.

Yep, either remove the seats and park it outside in the sun or roll the windows/top up and use the AC with heat.
