Does anyone have any suggestions for getting rid of that mildew smell
that has taken over my falcon while it's been in storage? I went over
every surface I could see with fabreeze antibacterial spray and followed
with an Armor-all type of thing. There is no cloth except for the seat
cover but it doesn't seem to be the source. I will, however, remove the
seat cover and bleach-wash it. Also it's been too cold and wet around
here to drive around with the windows open lately and it's not parked in
a garage so I can't leave the windows down all the time that it's
parked. I have to solve a moisture infiltration problem and that will
probably help a lot. Water is getting into the trunk through an unknown
source and it's collecting in there. I'm thinking that it would be
better to drill a couple of drainage holes to get rid of the water at
least until I can find the source and remedy that issue. Does this idea
make any sense?
On positive note; I know exactly where the water is getting into the
Corvan - the holes in the floor! It didn't take long to figure that out.
thanks,
Charles
