I wonder if anyone can help, I have a 2005 m3 convertible in Hong Kong, for some reason, the seats repeatedly become moldy ( I have used gliptone products on the seats). The constantly humid weather doesnot help but can anyone tell me how I can get rid of the mold permanently?

Once the seats are cleaned, keep one of these in the car ...



Change every few weeks or when full of water and make sure you put it somewhere where it wont spill.

Used to work a treat in my old 911 in Singapore

I use them in my tool box, but for the car I just leave the window open a little

Thanks very much, I have a couple of these which kam using but the problem is get the seats and the leather properly clean in the first place and remove the mold spores from the seats and then as you say keep it dry inside. Any idea on the spore removal?

The answer is rubbing alcohol which kills the mould spores. Now all I need to do is get the smg box working!!
