Smelly Air Con and Window Problem

[JD]

Hi all,
Two minor problems

My air con smells mouldy and I can't seem to shift it - any simple way to sort this out?

When I put my drivers window down fully it goes down a tiny bit too far, about half a centimeter, which means that the runners are half way out of their supports and window isn't fully supported and rattles around (quite a lot). Any ideas on how to adjust it?

Cheers
Dave

i know the smell your on about, got the same prob myself, a damp mildew smell. i havn't tried the cure yet but i read that if you turn the blower fan on and spray any anti-bacterial spray into the air vents at the bottom of the windscreen ( outside , where the air comes into the car ) it will cure the problem as its caused by bacteria living in the vents.

You'll need to get some anti-bacterial spray from someone like Radionics, I've used this before to get rid of smells from the aircon system. Check out http://www.mitsubishi-fto.org/workshop/ ... index.html

As regards rattling windows, you need new window guides, you can them from Co-ordsport in the UK, if memory serves me, they're not too expensive.

Or you could go the cheap easy route.... take off the door cards and get a vice grips and squeeze the window guides so they grip the window tighter.... AFAIK they rattle because the window becomes loose in the guides - this worked for me on my old GS and I'll be trying it on my GR.

Must give that a go Shane, good tip.

Nice one - I've been trying to buy these from Coord for months now (they're out of stock) before I soundproof my doors. Think I'll just go ahead and give it a go this weekend.

In case you're wondering were the window guide is located:

you put in in the inside in the passenger footwell if you take the 3 screws out of the fan and spray it in there then run for a while it'll sort it. did mine last year not smelt it since
