Duuuuuuuude that is just nasty. I don't get why you didn't change it when it first started smelling.

it was baad, but i believe at the time they were in the engine area so they were just cooking in there. i think it was only after it was all hair and fuzz that it went through the a/c.

Hahaha thanks for the vivid image!! lol A couple of winters ago we found a kitten in my mom's 4Runner. Thank god it wasn't near the fan when my mom was driving. So animals crawling up your engine to keep warm is pretty common in the winter time.

My brother works for Nissan. He has seen so many cars come in with dead mice in the cabin filters. apparently it's pretty common. Mine will get changed every year.
