Mice getting into inside of car !

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Mice getting into inside of car !

Postby Richard Kenward » Sun Jan 17, 2010 3:25 pm

I am suffering from mice getting into the driving compartment of the car. I now have to keep a couple of bated mouse traps in the car to protect the interior. I have had it up on a ramp and cannot spot any access point so has anyone had the same problem and found a cure please?

Cheers

Again many thanks. I had no idea that there were additional posts to that thread! I had no notifications of additional posts. I will redouble my efforts to sort this before I run out of cheese<G>

Cheers
