Mine smells AWFUL after I eat mexican...

 

Did you ever determine WHY???no, not that!!....Carl

 

its the glue that was used to adhere the carpet . run your fingers through the carpet and then smell them, i guarantee that's the smell

 

Thanks, Unfortunately my convertibles carpets smell like coconut sun tan lotions and oils...
But that may be what others are experiencing, the carpet glue, not the lotions.
Anyone replace their rugs recently?
Maybe an after market replacement vs OEM rug odor index would be interesting comparison.

Cheers!

 

I get that "melted crayon" smell when I run the vents/AC. I was thinking of changing the cabin filter.

 

If you just keep hiding those "Roaches" from Oregon and Washington drives no one complain of any smells, in fact it will smell great and your passengers will laugh at all your jokes. You will have to stop for a lot of "munchies" though.

 

Did a trip from Florida to Texas and left the car parked for a couple of weeks I noticed the same musty odour. It went away on the 24 hour drive from Texas to Ontario Canada. A earlier post suggested condensation in the A/C system if you drive with the top down and A/C on. I drove with the top up and the A/C on for the whole trip and the odour went away. The earlier post suggested you turn the blower up and A/C off when the top is down.
Probably good advise.

 

My .02 cents worth on the smell. I had the identical smell in my old 80's BMW 320is and have 2 of the Xfires with the same smell. I was told long ago that it was "horsehair"??..used to stuff the seats and used in the sound deadening material under the carpeting. Don't know how true this is, but its what I once heard and I thought I would share it with yall...peace

 

There may be some truth in the horse hair "smell". If you look at the bottom of some of the catalogs, there is the statement "No horses where harmed in the manufacturing of this car".
