Hey Graeme...did you find the source of the "smell" yet?
Hey Mark...
I've checked the car out including the cowl plenums and fan housing. No mice, no nests, no nothing (but I did find one of the original key code knockouts that found it's way under the carpet). There's no evidence of mice anywhere so it might just be the smell of mothballs as I suspected.
I found a color safe chemical call AGI (pronounced Aggy) for treating carpet and fabric that has live enzymes and will neutralize the odor both in the nylon twist as well as airborne. Once I spray the carpet and seat backs I will vacuum it up after a couple hours of dry time and button it all back up again. I'll then put a couple pie plates of coffee grinds out and leave that for a week or so. If there's any smell lingering after that, another trick I was told is to use a suggested dry-cleaning spray on the headliner to take it to the next level. In the mean time, I'll wipe down the vinyl after it's back together and see if that neutralizes everything. I'm trusting this approach will work great.
