Inside of car is stinky Hi, I was wondering if anyone elses car has the case of the stinkies like mine. It smells musty. I changed the cabin filter, figuring that might be it, but no good. When it warms up, I smell it more. The window seals on the driver side the smell, but i cant believe that would be getting through and into the car. Any ideas?
People have had great results with running the heater on full blast, with the AC vents and windows colsed for about 5 minutes. It should kill the mold really well.
For future reference, turn your AC off about 1 minute before you park extended periods (overnight or at work).

I had that issue too whenever it rained. Turns out that water was getting in my trunk through the spoiler. Took it to the dealership and they replaced all the weather stripping and put a new gasket between the trunk lid and the spoiler. They also replaced the cardboard in my trunk.
