At least on an MB of that vintage it's easy to dry the carpets!
Although it makes no sense since the car has been parked, it almost sounds like the AC evap drains are plugged or disconnected. Can you run the AC and look for A)condensation water dripping inside the car, and B)under the car to make sure the AC is indeed running on to the ground?

If the car has sat outside you can run water into the air intake area in front of the windshield and also check for water running in the car, I know this can get plugged up but can't remember how water coming in to the plenum is supposed to work it's way on to the ground, it might be through these same drains (for the AC), I know I had some MB once that was filling with water somehow this way.
On the sunroof, crack the roof open and pour water into the front drains and see if it comes in if you do that, you should see it run to the ground behind the front wheels at the bottom of the fenders.
