Strange smell!?!?

Hey guys, this may sound a little off, but I am getting a strange smell when I have my sunroof opened all the way, with no other windows. I get this strong musty smell that comes into the car. This does not just happen in a certain area, but everywhere. It is a consistent musty smell for over a year now. Any suggestions? Advice?

Water can easily sneak in under the sunroof when it is in the vent position. So guess this could be what is causing the smell if there is mold on top of the sunroof cover or even inside the roof itself.

I forgot the name of the stuff, but its like Ozone or Odium or something like that, but its what hospitals use to get rid of smells. Try spraying some of that in there? Or there is always Fabreeze?

You're thinking Ozium. To kill the bacteria, if that's what is causing the smell, Ozium or Lysol will do the trick. If it's the HVAC system, Frigi-Fresh is the best at killing the germs there.
