Re: [Amc-list] Moldy Smell - possible solution

[wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

You have to trace the odor down to the smallest piece of insulation or organic debri. 
Otherwise it will come back!
A lot of times it is leaves rotting in the cowl or heater box areas. Newer cars with plastic trim have insulation glued to the backs of the panels to kill sound. Mice love to build nests and die from old age in there.

  Mice also love to go up above the headliner and nest. That's a fun one too!

  Theoretically if you remove all the insulation and soft parts. Bleach scrub all the hard surfaces, you "should" be good, but then maybe not!
