Greetings everyone, The inside aroma of my 2011 RRSC is pleasant. To me, it smells just like genuine leather, but my wife isn't a fan. Is it only the fragrance of genuine leather, or am I mistaken? I know you can't smell it, but I was hoping you might share some ideas.
I'm grateful.

I can't find a mouse, but my HSE smells like one. Deal?

Whenever summer rolls around, I notice an odour that seems to be mould. Although a thorough cleaning did remove most of the coffee and soda that had spilt on the carpets, some remained.

The following year, I used an ozone machine as a follow-up, and the odour it produced was almost as bad as the mould

Any time the OP's wife doesn't approve of his scent, I'd gladly take it.

Oh my god!

Inspect the area under the spare tire and the back quarters for any signs of pooled water; occasionally, water can enter and remain there.

NOTE: You might want to think about lifting the front carpets as well. It's a bit of a pain to remove the door sill covers and then the thick layers of carpet. If there's pooled water sloshing around, you might want to drill some holes so it can drain out. Otherwise, you could have to wade through it.
Take note that water could be seeping in via the front sunroof drains or the pins on the windscreen side panels.
In order to prevent water from getting inside, I applied some DC111 around the roof opening and sunroof seal.
