are my leather seats screwed

it was really nice here today not a cloud in the sky, so i leave my ttops out when i go to class, no windows in the class and when i come outside it's pouring down the rain, there was puddles of water in my front seats, i quickly got paper towels and sponged it up, what will happen to my seats? if anything, they look ok for now

Same thing that happens when your leather jacket gets caught in the rain. Nothing! Just make sure the leather is dry and use some cleaner and conditioner on the seats. Try Zymol or Lexol.
Make sure you dry the rug real good. There is padding and metal under there and the padding will act like a sponge. You may have to remove the rug to insure that all is dried correctly.

Yeah, just try to dry it out as fast as possible, wet vac the carpet and put a fan on it if you can. Then just give the seats a good rub down with some leather conditioner.

JUST DON'T DRY IT WITH HEAT OR IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT!!!

That will totally screw up the leather...

Be sure to press any excess water out of the seats, let them air dry and use a good conditioner, they should be fine...
