Interior smells like mildew when first starting it
When I first start my vette up after sitting in the garage for a couple of days the air condition blows out a mildew smell. Is there a filter that needs to be cleaned or something?

Next time you drive using the AC, the last mile you drive, turn the compressor off and the fan on HI to dry out the system. It always works for me.
Also, check your udders under the hood to ensure they are open and can drain. You get all kinds of stuff in there if you don't watch it.
Good Luck

You are probably growing a mildew on your evaporator core,there are products in most parts stores to eliminate it.I know Chysler markets their own,GM may also as it is common in most cars.
