RAINED WHILE MOON ROOF OPEN!! Q_Q!

Ok, scenario:

My stupid @$$ get's in my car, hits all the power window and moon roof buttons to make sure everything is closed . . . right? No . . . Apparently in my rush of confusion to get wherever the hell I was goin', I hit the WRONG button and OPENED the moon roof slightly, yet enough to allow quite a bit of water into the roof.

How much? Let's jus' say that I am seeing several water spots near the rear pillars at the side small rear windows grow larger and larger, and water collecting where the pillars meet the side rear panels (where grey meets black on Satin Silver Metallic coupe). I noticed it after drivin' 'bout 10-15 miles in city traffic when I felt random drips hit me. So I stop to check it out and THAT"s when I discovered the moon roof open 'bout an inch or so. I felt all inside the roof as much as I could and there is water . . . oh yes . . . standing water. I parked my car on an incline to let it drain FORWARD into the trough in the front, but there's some impeding structures in the roof that keep all of it from making it was to the front of the car. Needless to say some damage has already been done.

Now, my questions are:

1) Has this or somethin' similar happened to ANYONE else here??

2) If so, how much damage was done, and/or how much can I expect to see?? Where did the YOUR water go??

3) What did you do to remedy the situation??

4) Will everything just dry up, or will there be mildew or somethin' developing??

5) What are my chances of having the dealer dismantle the roof and side panels to inspect possible damage at a reasonable price??

Ok, I'm a FVCKIN' moron for hittin' the wrong button and gawd knows that won' soon happen to me 'gain, but help/reassurance would sure be nice 'bout now 'cause I'm PISSED! Countin' on my 'vic bein' a good trade in one day, and at the rate I'm goin', looks like it'll be a beater [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/IMG]

I left my windows down several times on my last car, an acura integra. I'm talking tropical storms, I was 30 minutes away from the beach. Nothing ever happened.
