I know they did check and patch some leaks before they but the new fabric on. Could this be a leak again? What do you use to clean the fabric that will get rid of the mildew/mold?" This is a fact of life here in the NW, especially if the van is stored outside and not driven much in the winter. Best way to clean is with a home carpet/upholstery cleaning machine with a good upholstery detergent. Mine needs cleaning every year, and this time I'm going to try a mold inhibitor: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Concrobium-32-oz-Mold-Control-025326/100654126#.U azJeUC7OSo Stuart |
