Now I have the following items to take care of.

1. The trunk had water in it. Thanks to a previous post on this forum. Due to the water, there was rust in the trunk that needed to be addressed. I am almost done with addressing the trunk.

2. Next Project (Mice). There were mice droppings in the inside of the car as well as the trunk. In addition to the trunk, I plan on taking out the seats and replacing the carpet.

Question #1. As far as the seats (front and back) any suggestions on that. Should I spray the underneath and/or backside of the upholstery to help with the smell. I've read that maybe 1/2 part vinegar and 1/2 part water would do the trick.

Question #2. Thinking about other popular spots for mice, what is the diagram / layout of the ducts / vents. No a/c here. I am wondering if I should take all related vents apart to inspect and clean as needed. Does anybody have any prior experience when it comes to that or have any other ideas before I start taking everything apart.

And lastly, is there anything else I should check at all regarding the mice? Seems like all my lighting, radio and other power functions all are working. So hopefully no wire chewing occurred.

Thank you.
The ONLY thing I have found that WILL get rid of mice in an enclosed area is Grandpa Gus’ mice repellent.
