Help! Water in my car...

like an idiot i left the sunroof open in my car during the night and i have about 2 hours worth of rain in my car - its not too bad - the angle the car was parked at caused the rain to miss the dashboad and Nav System and all the electronics work but there is a lot of water pooled onto the leather seats. I toweled everything dry but the seats are still wet - what can i do to prevent the leather from cracking or drying out. Any reccomendations on airing the car out (again, its mostly the seats) to prevent any mold from forming - thanks guys!

Let the leather dry fully. Check to see if it feels any different from b4 the storm. If it feels dry and or different then use leatherique. It will bring your leather back to life.
