If you still have a lot of residual wetness in the car after a couple of days and some shopvac'ing and time in the sun, I was thinking that parking one of those household dehumidifiers in it for a while might not be a terrible idea. That will dry the air, and the dryer the air, the faster the moisture will come out of everything that is still holding it. My concern is that mold could start to take hold after a few days, and once that happens the smell will be pretty bad. If you have ever left wet laundry in the washing machine for a while, you know the smell.

I'm sure there must be some safety warning I should attach to recommending that you put a 120VAC appliance in a car, but I can't think what it might be. Careful not to pinch the cord and don't drive off with it plugged in?

There is nothing like running a large fan inside a wet area.

Open the tailgate and all the windows, put a big fan in the cargo compartment and face it forward.

When not running the fan, put crumpled newspaper in nooks and crannies. Change it every 6 hours or so. This is how firefighters dry out their felt-lined boot

I forget sometime also, but I park in a garage.

Open the SR and check the drain holes in both front corners. The drain tubes go down the A pillars.

As for the water in the overhead lights, pull the covers off. Then use a torx wrench to take the plastic down so you can dry it all with a cloth.

The wet carpet is a real problem. The foam pad under the carpet is reluctant to give up the moisture. I have resorted to shoving a sunday paper under the carpet to sop up the water (remove the slick advertisments first).

Park in the sun with the window rolled down about 1/4 inch to steam it out if you can.
