Interior Stinks

Well I did the smart thing of leaving my windows open over night and you guessed it, it rained. Now my car stinks. What can I do /use to get rid of the stink? Thanks

febreeze works well.

I would just wait for a sunny day and open everything and let your car sit and air dry.

At the very worst you will need to pull the carpet and replace your insulating foam. I reccomend this regardless.

I put window flashing down, and it not only made the car smell better, but ride inside was far quieter.

Spray everything!! down with upholsety cleaner and set it soak. Then steam clean and almost any smell will leave. Just make sure to let it dry in the sun. I find that when my girlfriend pukes BK Whoppers it gets that nasty Mayo stink out.

I didnt weigh it. I am gonna guess it was probably close to 6 or 7 pounds. Because I hold an entire 4'x25'' roll between my thumb and pointer finger.

Not quite exact, but a close estimate.

It is basically bubble wrap with aluminum foil on either side, so it might look heavy. But it is really freaking light.

For the rollbar paint smell. Time cures most things and this is one of them.
