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) |

1) Rub down the surfaces with 100% alcohol
2) Vacuum everywhere there is any sign of mold 3) Spray a fine mist of the aforementioned 100% alcohol 4) Rub it down again 5) Lots and Lots of sunlight 6) Desiccant of you choice. |
