I have read a few e-mails last  week referring to smells in Westies.
Although not from the front vent, the roof vent is another source of
these phantom smells. I have changed over a hundred, and believe me, the
ones all duct taped, cracked and have-seen-better-days really smell. I
guess moisture gets trapped in between the layers. Also the UV rays
break down the material and this releases a pungent odor.  Many of my
customers thought it might have been milk or food on the apolstry and
were amazed what a nose-relieving difference a new skylight made. Has
anyone else noticed this?
