I've had an a$$ full of the automatic window roll down feature

It's been raing for a few hours here in LA. I need to go somewhere so when I walk up to the car both windows are completely rolled down. It's been pouring and now I have a completely soaked interior. I towled out as much water as I could for now (in the dark). There were puddles behind and underneath both seats.

My keys weren't even in my pant pockets, so I'm not sure how the windows rolled down. I'm not sure what could have pressed the button on the FOB. It's been raining of and on all day, so I didn't leave them unrolled earlier in the day either.

This happened once before when I was out of town, but luckily my girlfriend spotted it just before it began raining about 3 months ago. Is there some sort of "it's gonna rain so let me roll the windows down automatically to piss you off feature" I don't know about?

I have two questions...

1) can this feature be disabled on the FOB?

2) is my interior pretty much ruined? other than sopping up as much water as I can how do I dry up the foamy door panels? Will the water damage any of the other materials used in the interior (i.e. leather seats and suede/fabric inlays)?
