I think it's unlikely to be the seat padding, unless there are signs of damage. What I found was that it still took a few years for the smell to leave completely, even after I cleaned out the jugs under the back seat. Next summer you might try taking the jugs and the carpet all out for a few days, just to see if the car then seems to smell much better. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
