Put a bowl with ammonia in it in your car and leave it for a couple of days. You will have to air your car out well afterwards to get rid of the ammonia smell but when it's gone the musty smell should be gone too.

Get ahold of Phil at the link below or PM him on the concours board under "perf & comp". He is a great asset to this community and should be able to point you in the right direction.

Jerry: (squinching up face) What's that awful smell. Elaine, do you you smell that awful smell?

Elaine: (also squinching up face) What am I? Hard of smelling? Of course I smell that smell.


That's exactly what I was thinking. Perhaps you should watch that episode for ideas. Other than that I have nothing constructive to offer. Good luck. Too bad you're not hard of smelling.
