Unhappy This car stinks...

It has been raining here for two days and the car has an awful musty smell inside. I have checked and rechecked and this top does not leak and I have no wet carpet.

Maybe your Cabin Air is gross... I had that kind of smell in my coupe come to find out the cabin air filter was just nasty. Replaced the filter and no more musty smell

ONLY happens when it rains... after about two days the smell disappears. I believe there is something getting damp inside, or the top itself is dank after being waterlogged for a couple of days.

We live in Washington state (hey..famous for rain!) and we've never had that smell. Of course we've had every OTHER problem ...but just not that one.

There was a significant side seam leak on the passenger side that just dribbled water down into the floor. We only noticed it after some severe rainfall. The top did leak after it was replaced prior to them fixing the channeling / wind issues. Not sure where you are with your car. Hope it isn't anything bad!
