A wet 850! 850

Absolutely take out the carpets as soon as possible and dry everything well by vacuuming and letting newspapers absorb the remaining humidity. Then leave the car in the sun (if hot enough), put one of these humidity absorbing things or an electrical heater fan inside (not too big nor too hot though) and leave a crack of the windows open to ventilate.

Once you are absolutely positive that everything is cork dry reinstall the carpets.

If you do not dry the car very well now you will in the best of all cases get a musty smell, and in the worst of all cases electrical gremlins.
