Funky Trunk

[DonD]

My CTV-4 Blackwing is 14 mo old, just turned 7000 miles. Bought it at 14 miles, very clean. Well prepped.

From the beginning, the trunk has had a strange scent, nothing even remotely stinky has been carried in it. I've washed the heavy rubber floor liner with soap, hasn't helped.

Anyone else have a similar issue? Don

I'd pull everything up and look for any water collecting in the bottom.

Also, you might find an old turkey sandwich left in there from the assembly line.

Have done that and will look some more tomorrow. Don

Could always try an ozone machine.

That doesn't seem normal. I'm assuming you're smelling mold or musty smell?

I'd get in as close as you can to sniff and pinpoint where the smell is coming from. It may take time especially if the smell is potent. Have you checked the trunk lid and behind the liners?

Maybe it needs to be aired out. If you could leave the trunk open and outside for as long as possible it may clear up.

Is there condensation in the lights or any visible signs of mold or stains behind the liners?

They make a moisture capture container called damprid, that may help.
