no, to be sure this does not smell musty or moldy and like i said when i opened up the heat/ac box it was dry and clean in there. the thing that still puzzles me is that even blowing air into everything and even totally up under the dash, i have no signs of ANY nesting material blowing out of anywhere

I have found that the drain flap under the heater/ac box was wide open. have got it closed now seems pretty tightly closed . is the rubber flap available anywhere? while apart i have blown compressed air into the heater ductwork from every direction i can see and dont seem to get any nesting material coming out anywhere, either inside the car or outside in the open heater/ac box. would it be advisable to leave some sort of a freshener in the box before i reinstall the top. maybe like one of those balsam sacks or something like it to deter mice.
thanks

I'll have to check and see. Do you mean with the top off to look down thru the area that would be covered by the screen?
thanks

Kinda new to this forum and have a question that I can't find anything further on by the search of this forum. Just a quick bit of background info...My '87 GN has what seems like a mousey smell  (pretty bad, then goes away) when I turn on the A/C or the heater with the blower fan. I have a faint smell with everything shut off. i have searched out the interior and found a small nest starting under the back seat. Got rid of it and replaced the sound deadening material between the seat and the trunk (which is where the nest material came from) I have now as per Steve Woods site taken the top off of the A/C box to reveal the inside with the hope of finding a nest but it's all clear and clean. Now the question...has anyone had this problem and is is possible to get in and build a nest on the underdash area of the heater? Also , how would I got about checking this. I also should say that after the under seat thing I have never found any debris at all in the car or on the rug.
sorry so long and thanks
