the interior of my 63 seems to have been taken over by black mold. any way to reverse this other than reupholstering?
Before you do anything, determine if the mold is into the foam backing of the seats or just superficial.
The problem is that black mold can cause many respiratory problems and even death if inhaled. Once the
spores get into your lungs in any great amount of concentration and start to grow, well, you get the
idea. If the mold is just in a few places, use distilled white vinegar and scrub until the stain is gone.
Put the car in the warm sun with the windows rolled down. keep kids away! after everything is dry,
you can start cleaning, but if you find black mold under the seat covers, you're done! (or should I say, Finished).
There is probably mold in the carpet also. Yo can't kill what you can't get to. In the future, you need to keep
a de-humidifier in the car, or some 20 watt light bulbs to drive away the moisture. Even putting the car
in a bag and filling it with Nitrogen. I know, it sounds like a lot, but black mold is nothing to fool with.
Good luck with your problem! Hope to hear more about what you find!
That stinking mold don't deserve no vodka!!!!Vodka works too!!!! Oh the humanity!

You need to redry them if left in open air. Place in a 200 degree oven for 8 hours to dry them out. They must be stored in an air tight container or used then. Where I worked they stored them in a drier oven about the size of a small refrigerator .Lol! I work in maintenance at a fairly large compression molding facility. We got several new injection presses delivered a year or so ago & they were shipped here to the U.S. in shipping containers from Germany. Inside the containers were hundreds of 10lb. bags of silica beads for keeping things dry. They were going to be throw out so I boxed them all up & took em home. I have several in all my cars & give em away to anyone I know who stores a car for any period of time. Do they work? I dont know but they cant hurt & I've never had a problem. Here in Ohio, the worst thing to do the first warm day of spring is open the garage door to let the cool air out/warm air in...intant condensation everywhere...
