So, it's musty-smelling air-freshener. LOL

Smell is only apparent when heat/air is on.

I've read about this stuff: Buy Frigi-Clean® and Frigi-Fresh® | BG Frigi-Clean® and Frigi-Fresh® AC products | Frigi-Clean® and Frigi-Fresh® But don't know if I can drill a hole in whatever I need to drill a hole in.

I need help! I'm about ready to chuck Curby in the river! He STINKS! Any advice? Anyone rid their car of this smell?
Check the air conditioning condensation drain it is also common on NB's for clogging up and not letting the water drain from the condenser.On the botom of the firewall..will be a little rubber grommet with hole in it...make sure this is clean of debris
