Once the interior bits were laid out, fresh insulation, padding, and sound deadener were cut. The original materials were quite thick, so the replacements were laminated. The carpet was thoroughly scrubbed with detergent a few times, hosed off, then draped over sawhorses to dry in the sun. Then everything was installed, as original.
The odor has been reduced about 90%. I suspect the headliner insulation retains some of it, but that isn't going to be removed as the material is too fragile. There isn't much else to wash. Even the seat belt webbing was immersed, scrubbed and dried.
Febreze was sprayed on the carpet and beneath the seats.
When the trunk is opened, there's still the mildew aroma, so I'm going to coat everything inside to seal it, but haven't figured out what to use. All new sound dampening material and a Jim Wallace trunk kit are awaiting installation.
