Question All Wet...


Anyone know if soaked leather seats will mildew?
Left the sunroof open and the seats got soaked (all those perforated holes)...
I don't want them smelling or filling up with mildew in the padding...
It's really humid weather here right now, not dry heat... Any ideas PLEAZE!

Is it possible to 'clean' the inside... from the outside though? You mean steam clean don't you?
EDIT: Thanks for the reply by the way, I'm really **** about my car and it's bugging the crap out of me.

They would have to use some kind of chemical that would prevent anything from getting in there. They should dry out ok.

Word of caution if it happens to you ~ it left a smell in my car... g-r-e-a-t. Now I'm stuck with it.

unbolt the seats and remove the cushions, you can remove the pads from the seat frame and then just squeeze out any excess water.
