I'll have to look around but it's worse in the trunk.

Hopefully it will be nice this week so it can dry up and air out. Meanwhile, should I put a box of Arm&Hammer in the trunk of something?

Default roll all the windows down and get a fan to blow air into the car...

or go rent a dehumidifier from a rental place and put it in your car.

Default I've had my trunk wheel well fill up before with water when the rain or

sprinklers hit the rear lights just so.... I discovered it because of the mildew smell. It's happened a couple times and that's been the problem both times. I had to dry it out real good, Febreeze it a few times and it goes away.
