I'd coat them with an oily leather cream, something like Renapur.

If you cant find that try something like autoglym leather care, and put loads on.

But the best thing to do would be store them somewhere dry!

Welcome to PF by the way but easy on the CAPITALS!!

I descovered the same prob in my escos today.
Does your car sit outside or garaged, Iv put some heaters in the garage to try dry the car out a bit. The windows are all condensation so i assumed the damp was causing the mould.

I once left the window down on my car all night, and it pissed it down

Little old wives trick is to get a bowl and half fill it with salt. I just left it in the car for a day or so. Hey presto, damp gone! Chuck half a lemon in if you want it to smell nice.
