Make sure you dry it out. Possibly space heater in the garage and leave the doors open? Hair dryer? Main thing is get rid of the excess water so mold doesn't happen. As far as the seat heaters, I have no idea.

I agree. Especially because you could get water down my the rails and over time they will rust up on you and it will either lockup or squeak. Not cool.

happen to me before. Most of my water sat in/on the seat.
Went behind with with a dryer on cool and drove with windows down. I would say it took about a week to dry. I don't have a lot of passengers so no one got wet but I did notice my passenger airbag sensor came on a few times with nothing in the seat but good now

...now that I think about it - it could have been because of the weight in the seat.
Like I was riding once from the club in the passenger seat and when I leaned on the door/window my friend said the airbag sensor would cut off
-- our cars are pretty smart - just really thinking about all this now - all the little things you don't really pay attention to on a regular basis

I'd be more worried about the electronics and stuff that might have gotten sprayed. Put the car in a nice dry area and let it dry out. Clean and condition leather. Check carpet for dampness and clean with appropriate cleaners to avoid any smells later on.
