[DMCForum] Re: Rotten Wood/Carpet at Battery Compartment



I'm on board with you so far. I have the little rubber hose on the 
bottom of the recirc fan.

I'm glad you're refreshing me on all of this. I'm wondering just how 
much of all of this I'm going to have to replace in order to get my 
A/C working.

Assuming I get the car in shape for the trip to Florida it was my 
intent to have you inspect all this stuff so I would know how much I 
have to replace and how much I can keep.
