if you own a dehumidifer you could dry out the carpet without pulling it out.
It may take a few days

It definitely wouldn't hurt to try it anyway.Especially if I could lift the carpet up in it's place.

There may be some urgency to the dryout. I believe mold can set in after a couple of days, and if that happens, it is there until the car burns to the ground some day. The concern is for porous things, especially those with organic content. Fiber, wood, for example. Solid plastic, metal, are OK and can be cleaned of mold.
Dehumidifying is good, but heat + forced convection will get the moisture out a lot faster. Removing and hanging vertically, squeezing it out, direct sunlight, etc. are all good too. So if it were me, I would do everything I could (e.g., all of the above, if possible) do to get things dried out ASAP.
