      <![CDATA[You need to put a fan down in there for a good 24 hours to dry it out--otherwise you're going to get mold and mildew in the car, which is NASTY. You can mitigate a bit it by cleaning that area with a ton of white distilled vinegar (or bleach, if you dare--but not both), but try to get it good and dry again. (The voice of experience.)

      <![CDATA[This morning on the bus, we were talking about floods, and the topic drifted to cars - one woman said the problem with the rains is her used convertible gets mildew and puddles, whereas another man has rust problems with his door seals.

The vents usually clog from leaves and other tree detritus (flowers, seed pods) - try reverse blowing them out, and see if the vent is removable.

      <![CDATA[Either (1) your door seal is fucked or (2) your window seal is fucked. 

Whichever, you need to get it fixed, pronto. Otherwise your floorboard will rust out and your car will forever smell of mildew (once the mildew starts, you can never get rid of the smell). Even if you don't get the seal fixed immediately, get that carpet dried immediately. 

I once had a friend who spilt a carton of milk on the floor of his car. He halfheartedly cleaned up some of the milk, but left enough there to putrefy. The rancid smell remained until he eventually sold the car. Plain old mildew isn't as rank as rotted milk, but you get my point.
