My leather car seats got soaked in the rain. They dried to some extent, but still damp. I want to prevent the growth of mildew. What can I use to get rid of the remaining moisture in the seats?

Leather needs moisture so does not suffer from getting wet although the innards of the seats might.
You can safely dry them with a hairdryer. If you are worried about mildew you can get a product called em-clean from LTT which is a fungicidal cleaner specially for leather.

Had this happen to me once. I doubt if the moisture is in the leather but rather in the padding beneath. I don't know where you live but I just rolled up all the windows and let it set in the bright sun for a day. I did clean them first with a good leather cleaner. No mildew and dry seats.
good luck

Run your air conditioner @ the lowest possible temperature with the windows rolled up. I know it's winter time but any time your interior gets wet the air conditioner actually removes moisture from the interior. After completely drying it and discolorations appear scrub the entire leather seat with saddle soap. Follow directions on the can.

you need to take them all the way out of the car,and either set them in the sun light or take a hair drier to them and dry them really good,that's the only way you can get them to dry out,other wise those things will hold moisture for ever,good luck i hope this helps.
