    It's not going to get where the mold/mildew/whatever is growing, as it
    will drain out the drain holes in the sheetmetal before ever entering
    the HVAC box. QED.

    OK, where did you ever post the above procedure? (which makes a hell
    of a lot more sense than pouring bleach into the cowl intake) Time to
    check you're meds, Larry, you're slipping into "semi-coherent ranting
    asshole" mode again.

    Which won't solve the problem the OP has. Bleach or no.

    Gee, whiz, Glickman, are you letting your other personalities each type
    their own answers to my message?

    Just wondering.

    Wow, Glickman. Too bad you didn't use some of that water to bathe
    instead.

    Hey, Glickman,
    Do this bit while you're in the car. You'll come out smelling better.

  8. Happened when you performed a car wash and the in coming air vent was set to
    allow outside air into vehicle!




    To repair you will have to remove, thoroughly clean out by hand (use Lysol lemon
    fresh for best results!) and re-install the plastic air vents under the dash.



    The next time you wash your vehicle -- remember to close the vents!

    Absolute garbage.

    Water cannot get inside vehicle thru air vents.

    Unless the vehicle is submerged.

    It's a pre 85 chrysler product not a gm or a ford numb nuts!

    usually true, but I once had a '67 Dart that had collected enough pine
    needles in the air intake to allow water in the passenger compartment
    when it rained - the cowl drains were completely full. Was fun to clean
    out too, as the only access to that area was through the little vent
    doors in the HVAC box - you can *just* reach your hand up in there to
    grab a handful of pine needles :)

    So, what's your point. I've owned pre 85 Chrysler products. Never had an issue
    with water getting in through the air vents unless the vehicle was flooded.

    I agree that could happen, but pine needles aren't an issue where I live.

    Even a Ferd or Cheby could get plugged.
