RE: Mice in car

[Paul Lennemann <pjlenn@xxxxxxxxx>]

Am I missing something here?  Why not get the headliner out to deny them 
another safe haven?  If you're planning on replacing it anyway I'd just 
go ahead and rip it out now.  They could multiply like, well, mice up 
there.  I'm sure there are ways through the A, B,& C, pillar to the roof 
through the rocker panel. Getting the headliner out you'd also get some 
ventilation to get rid of the odor.  That plus a good scrubbing with 
bleach should bring it back to a pleasant grease, oil, & evergreen tree 
cachet.
