| The 66 Studebaker was a barn find. The result of it's life in the barn
was mice. The mice decided to pee in the car. I pulled the carpet and
the unusually thick 1966 foam pad and tossed it. The car still smells
like mice pee. It must be in the seats that are way to nice to take
out. So, anyone have an idea on what I might be able to use to get rid
of the smell? I tired ozuium but it did nothing.

There are several ideas out there, pet enzymes (expensive), vinegar
mixes, baking soda, charcoal, bleach, "Odo-ban", etc.
You might call Service-Pro, or other services that restore homes after
fires or floods for some hints.
Urine is very tough to get rid of - it has acid in it, and protein. The
protein binds the odors deeply into almost everything - very tough to
eliminate.
Good luck. |

If you go to a sanitary supply house near you can buy a quart or maybe
a few if it is bad as I think and buy an enzyme urine odor remover.
Saturate every thing in the car with it hitting all surfaces where the
pee may have been, even the headliner and the bacteria ill eat all the
uric acid and bacteria that goes along with it. Find a "Big D"
distributor to get it. Shouldn't be much more that $5 a quart. Good
luck! >> Stay informed about: An Embarrasing Studebaker Problem |

There are companies that specialize in removing, oders, blood, feces,
cadavers from crime scenes. Infact while they don't discuss murder victims
or car accidents, one company in thi ara advertises on TV.

Many years ago I pulled a car out of a field and had a similar mouse
problem. Even after I removed the entire interior I could tell that
something was still funny. I put mouse traps in the car and caught two
of them over a week after I gutted the car. I think they were living
in the heater ducts. >> Stay informed about: An Embarrasing Studebaker Problem |

My '53 had had mice EVERYWHERE. They used the pass side windshield
post as a access tunnel to the headliner. I later found nest material
stuffed in the A post above the upper hinge that I had to pull out pc
by pc with a hooked wire. Also had a nest stuffed in the frame that
caught fire while I was doing some welding. That got my attention!

Back in the 1980's, my old Avanti developed a strange starting problem
in that the starter drive sometimes would not completely engage the ring
gear and I would have to repeat the starting process to achieve success.
One day while the car was jacked up for an oil change, I noticed that
the access hole in the bell housing for the converter plug was blocked
by "fuzzy" material. Turned out that some very small rodents had made a
condo in the bell housing. I removed the starter and took out a ton of
stuffing materials. Never had a problem with the starter after that...
