I think the mouse brought his own deadner. That's nesting quality stuff right thur!

 

I'm pissed.



My Z car didn't come with a dead & rotting mouse in the sound deadening/insulation material.

 

Ewww!

 

I remember after a month or so of buying the Z, switching out shift *****, and that material was there, only it was gray, not green!!! lol

 

i saw the first pics and knew immediately what that was. first thing i would try to do is get the smell out. second find out how it got in there (they can squeeze into some very small spaces) and third, i would check your wires and that because something killed it, and mice love to chew stuff all the time. especially wires.

 

um, i think that mouse has been living there for a long time and just recently died. since i have never seen any material in that area at all. maybe they put it in later models but i know that my 04 did not have any material like that in there at all.

 

Thread should be moved to the proper weight-reduction forum.

 

^HAHA!

Z04, you are probably right on the housing conditions of the mouse. He had a nice stay, then probably when I left for vacation, he just died, probably could not figure out a way to get out.

I just spent an hour disinfecting everything and febreezing, the smell is basically gone, just have to let it air out for a bit or so.

Wiring is all good, everything works fine. Nothing was damaged, from what I could see.

If it still smells after a week or so, I am going to take apart the whole dash and do further cleaning.

 

I've seen a spider once in my vent at the top of the dash near the windshield, but this takes the cake - ha! Once, a Z came in a dealership I used to hang around at in KY with a mouse in the engine bay - had a nest built in the battery compartment - chased it out & it ran across the service bays. Another time a mouse had built a little nest area on top of the battery in an Ultima - was still there when the tech opened the hood & it took off down the side of the engine. **** happens.....

 

wtf, disgusting haha. seems like custom deadening made by the mouse haha

 

+1

WTF?

 

woah that’s almost as bad as this pic i saw where a snake got caught in an acura's supercharger belt.

 

Yeah... there is no sound deadener in the center console! Little guy got cold and decided to build himself a nest.

 

thats awesome

 

No, there was sound deadener there. Because a month after I had the Z (May '06), I bought a Nismo shiftknob and when I took apart the shifter, it was there.

 

hahah that just made my night.... thanks for the laugh... but sorry to hear about your ... situation... good luck getting the smell out? and he must have been living in there for awhile... no one in there right mind would put that stuff in there... except a mouse
