Just back from Austin. It rained in Atlanta the day before I left. When I returned to my VX, nicely tucked in a covered parking area at the airport, I was hit with the most ghastly aroma of mildew!!!

Sure-enough, the wet mat was back! (I'm thinking of putting "WETMAT" on my next license plate!)

So, we're going back to the dealer on Monday. The Service Manager apologized saying that with my all-black VX's coatings, "it is difficult to tell sealants from painted-surfaces."

This time I'm going to suggest they remove and inspect beneath the left-front fender.

BTW- I can't really see a difference in the previously referenced moulding/trim on my VX.
