mine is stinky after it rains
dont have that problem your having
then again, i dont have much interior left....and my AC doesnt work so the windows are always down....
btw: your sig.
i liked akinori's car w/ the cwest kit more
i do like the DRFT kits though. very nice. good airflow.

got a hatchback?
hatchback = water leaks!
mine always smells "wet" and the rear window fogs up all the time from the leaky hatch... spoiler rust. I keep forgetting to call the local chain of junkyards to see if they have a good hatch.
that maybe it...well i took the spoiler off and put tape over the spoiler holes (i have a fastback) and it maybe the waterleaks. is there anything to prevent this from happening again?

Yea, my car smells like a swamp when my floor mats soak up the water from my shoes during a rainy day. Time for some new
floor mats.

Mine smells like Gear Oil, must be coming thru the shifter.
Used to smell like a swamp, but i found the leak in my trunk lid.
Ive found that it gets musty when it rains, due to the fact that your rear floor/floor mat area gets water soaked up from under the car. My first 240 didnt even have rust there or anything but every time it rained the rear floor would get all wet and stink up the car.

doors, most of the time, coz the onlything sealing them is the glass, and it only sits on top of the rubber.
i always notice steam around there..
stoopid nissan didnt make a complete door, there using convertible doors... they are sweet when there open though ;)

if you put bounce under the seats sometimes it takes away the musty smell...

I have a coupe and my trunk leaks water when it rainls heavily. I didn't know this until it started to smell and when I looked at the carpet in the rear it was soaked with water. It doesn't take much water to cause the windows to fog up on a warm day. I took all of the carpet out from the trunk area and have no problems now, if I get some water back there I just dru it out.

yeah, my s13 coupe leaks water in some where, i dont know where, ive replaced wheather stripping, it is sitting with a blown engine in my back yard, if i pour a jug of water on all the seams, no leaks, if it rains though, the next day my trunk is full of water.
but i know the solution, my engine makes a real bad knock, so i am going to buy 3 gallons of turbo blue ( its like race gas, about 114octane, hook up my camcorder and blow her up, hell shes broke not worth fixing, might as well have some fun!!
