<VV> Black Mold

[Cliff Tibbitts]

As a former Floridian, and one time awning installer, I would suggest one of
two things.  First, check with the local auto detailers.  They would most
likely have a workable solution.  Second, you might check with an awning
installer and see what they recommend to keep the mold off their awnings.  I
think it would work just as well on your top, and maybe even the seats. 

Good luck, and yes it is a perennial problem in Florida.

This may be a Florida-only problem, but someone on the list may have a
solution.
   
  Our 64 Monza convertable has begun to grow black mold on the tops of both
the front and rear seat backs. It's now the rainy season in Florida with
average relative humidities in the 80% range. The car lives with its top
down, under a breathable car cover, inside a well ventilated carport.
   
  I know the standard cure for black mold is Clorox, but if I use full
strength Clorox on the red seats it will bleach them pink. I also know the
mold, left untreated, will eat the vinyl.
   
  Has anyone had any success with any non-bleaching product to get rid of
this pest?
   
  Thanks,
  Arjay Morgan
