Hi all. Never thought it would happen to me. 5 wires in total chewed on or severed: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7V8ZfCV-CCM/UP9je0H5OwI/AAAAAAAAGqI/oO4m888WbJQ/s576/Mice%2520Wire%2520Damage.jpg And..... image of severed wiper washer hose: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Rdrsbl42RV8/UPosYdA4hyI/AAAAAAAAGoc/dr1n9pnwenM/s576/ya%25202.jpg One example of a vent hose behind dash, "nibbled" at (3 hoses in total damaged): https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-U9pOutRDMHk/UPosY9-WrnI/AAAAAAAAGos/43MUuDAv9cY/s720/ya%25204.jpg If you think you might have mice, get on it soon. My Westy sat for a year and a bit. Thankfully, I didn't see signs of rodents elsewhere but needless to say, foam toppers have been tossed, clothing washed, sleeping bag, well, we'll see, and with dash off, took heat exchange box apart. Cleaned all, plus area behind dash with bleach. Needless to say, try not to let this happen to you!
