Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS 38000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS, I'VE NOTICED A BAD SMELL IN MY CAR AFTER IT HAS RAINED AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO WARM UP DUE TO SUNLIGHT. I'VE FOUND WATER UNDERNEATH MY FRONT DRIVER-SIDE FLOOR MAT. IT SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THE SEAL THAT SURROUNDS THE DOOR FRAME OF THE CAR, NOT THE DOOR ITSELF. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER HEAVY RAINS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT COMES THROUGH THE INSIDES OF THE DOOR, AS IT ENDS UP ON TOP OF THE PLASTIC MOLD, WHICH IS INSIDE THE DOOR FRAME SEAL, THAT LEADS TO THE FLOORBOARD. AGAIN, IT LEAVES A BAD, MOLDY SMELL AND IS RUINING MY FLOOR MAT. I'VE VISITED AN INTERNET MESSAGE BOARD, WHICH IS MAINLY DISCUSSIONS ON MY MAKE AND MODEL CAR, AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN NOTED AMONGST SOME MEMBERS OF THE FORUM. *TR
