04X3 is on a distinguished road
Left sunroof open and it rained the one time I forget to close it

So unfortunately did something incredibly stupid-left the sunroof open and it rained that night on my bmw x3, 04. Came in the morning to find the seats soaked and the carpet pretty wet as well. Car was under a tree but a lot of water still seems to have gotten through. Headliner was wet as well.

I toweled up the seats and got out all the water that I could manage. I then left for work, got back around 4ish. I cleaned and conditioned all of the leather and let that dry for a bit. Then I took a hair dryer and dried the carpet under the floor mats (took those out, letting those dry. Should I do anything else to those?). The carpet seems to be dry, and the leather seats seem a good bit better to me after being conditioned and cleaned. Currently its sitting in the garage with all doors closed and each window opened a little bit, with a fan blowing at max speed in the car. The heated seats still work and the seats still move and adjust fine. I think everything seems to be dry now (seats, albeit being a little damp seem to be drying fine, carpet is dry, and so is the center console.

Is there anything else I should be worrying about? Any chance of rust, mildew, or anything else bad?

Have I pretty much done everything I can to dry it and prevent problems, or am I missing anything?

Thanks in Advance,

04x3
