Left Sunroof open...Now car smells like s#*t

I forgot to close my sunroof Saturday nite and it rained overnight, now my car smells horrible...It wasnt soaked really bad but i think the leather seats and carpet absorbed the water...and know it stinks. Anyone know how to fix/get the water and smell out?? Please let me know...Thanks.

febreeze

slide the glass all the way back & spray some, not too much, in the track area. thats prolly where most of the smell is coming from.

let the car air out, spray febreeze on interior, then vacuum.

In the track area? You mean the sunroof track? Why would the smell be coming from there? The smell most likely is your carpeting and leather seats. Best thing to do is get a wet vac and suck out all that water as soon as you can. This happened to me in a previous car and I vacummed and let the car sit in the sun with all the doors/sunroof open for a while.

The smell is definitely coming from the leather seats and carpet....I'm currently airing out the car but it's really cloudy in the NY area right now... Where do i get a wet vac?

**** febreeze, that **** sucks compared to Ozium, you can get a can of Ozium from Pepboys for 5.50, its the 2nd leading odor/bacteria destroyer in the world, it was origionally designed for hospitals
