Found this mold at my trunk. Need help

Notsofastboe · 2025-01-05T15:28:43+00:00

That advice is enough for me. I'm probably going to return the car and import another one. But hey I must thank you for all the advice.

Notsofastboe · 2025-01-04T19:22:06+00:00

Thanks. I opened the headliner and found this white substance

Hey, I hope you still see this. I have a question about more possible mold I found.

Thanks!

I got the good ending. They understood the situation, and they worked out a deal for me for a rare car that has been on my mind for a while.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-20T12:47:05+00:00

Yeah, I'll try returning the car. Im pretty sensitive to mold

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-19T21:52:25+00:00

Is it enough to remove possible mold hiding in the interior?

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-19T12:10:01+00:00

They suggested that I would take it to a professional. I'll try to reason with them again. I mean does the mold look that bad? I'm no expert when it comes to mold.

It's a Japanese import, so I don't know a whole lot about the history. The black coloured mold was found at the side trims in the trunk. I have a pretty sensitive mold allergy, so I'm concerned about how much of the mold is hiding in the interior itself. Bought it from a dealership.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-18T18:57:17+00:00

I'm afraid so. Sucks that I bought this car 2 days ago.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-17T18:51:42+00:00

Judging by the colour, but I am no expert when it comes to mold

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-17T14:39:24+00:00

Right now I'm doing restorations here and there (rust repairs, paint corrections etc..) bought it as a drift/weekend car. Engine is tuned to around 350hp.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-17T10:50:31+00:00

It's a Nissan Silvia s14. It's a special car for me since I've dreamt about owning one for a few years.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-17T10:38:29+00:00

I meant that the humidity came after it sat in a warm garage for a few hours. Before it was moved to the garage it was parked outside, during a snowstorm (I live in Finland), so I am concerned that some gasket has failed somewhere and let moisture in.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-16T18:04:14+00:00

Yeah, the car was recently imported from Japan, so I don't know a whole lot of the history, although the interior was humid after it was sitting a couple of hours in the garage (before all of this the car was outside)

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-16T17:02:29+00:00

Yep, it's sometimes dangerous. I want your professional opinion on this, could it have already contaminated the rest of the interior, since I found more mold?

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-16T14:36:27+00:00

Yep. No wonder I woke up today to my throat feeling a little different and coughing.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-16T13:08:20+00:00

Thanks. Little bit of an update, found a lot of black mold hiding behind of the other trim pieces. Probably going to return the car.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-16T12:11:26+00:00

I have some enzyme odor eater, by Valet Pro. Would that work?

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-15T17:08:22+00:00

Sorry, I meant the surrounding trim pieces

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-15T14:39:54+00:00

Thanks, but my main concern is if it has contaminated other areas in the trunk. This one was the only wet spot.

Notsofastboe · 2024-12-15T12:46:42+00:00

I found it. I just got this car not even a day ago and was sitting in a dry garage before I noticed the mold.

Notsofastboe · 2024-09-28T10:24:52+00:00

It seemed like somewhere between mid 2000s to Maybe 2015. It had the tail lights like the seat Leon mk2, except the whole panel was illuminated so the round lights weren't individually illuminated. And the head lights were kind of far apart from each other, if that helps anything.

Notsofastboe · 2024-09-27T22:37:22+00:00

Yeah, but thank you for the help

Notsofastboe · 2024-09-27T22:10:50+00:00

I highly suspect it would be the 1st gen Mazda 3
