Greg, I left my back window open once when it rained. What I did
(maybe it was overkill) was pull the seat out, took out the jack and
plastic tray, and raised up the edges of the carpet where it wasn't
glued down. I sprayed every inch of the carpet down with a healthy dose of Febreeze
(odor remover, find it in the laundry isle) and then I sat two shop
fans in the cab for a couple of hours. Everything dried out
perfectly, and I didn't get ANY kind of weird odor or mildew. It
smelled nice and fresh!
