Crap, looks like i had some water seeping into my car over the last few weeks.
Removed the cover this morning to get my toolbox and the whole interior is covered with mold. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) Anyone here have any experience with cleaning this mess? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Not sure how to get the mold out, but I had an old house and the closets were musty. We used little tubs of DAMP-RID. You have to go pour them out every once in a while, but they soak up the moisture in the air. Put a couple in your car.
I might only use that if the windows were up tho. You don't want to be dehumidifying your whole garage with a tiny little bucket of Calcium Chloride. |
