A/C Mold Eliminating Foam...
Just pulled the Vette out from winter storage... and my A/C smells. The Chevy delaer told me it is due to mold and fungus that has grwon in the A/C system. The Chevy dealer sells a foam they insert into the system that supposedly removes the smell and kills the mold... for $140+. Anyone know what this is... what it costs... and how difficult installtion is? I want to remove the smell... but not for $140. Thinking of a DYI projet.... any thoughts?
Cheers,
Dennis

Thanks for the BG products lead. This is what my local Chevy dealer wanted $139 to put in my car. Know any way I can buy the product and do the work myself? Went to the website and it is primarily geared for distributors... not retail product sales.
