just acquired a 380SL 1982 and it's a bit musty inside.

the front drivers side floor area is a bit moist. water has gotten in from the rain last night.

Question:
1. how do i get rid of the musty smell? what product do you guys use or do you simple wait for a sunny day and let the entire interior air out???
2. The seals along the door. I know I will probably have to replace them. How difficult is that work?

thanks.
I had the same issue with one of my SLC 5.0's. Actually there was mold growing on the seats. I put the car in my garage with a full size dehumidifier in on the floor and it sucked out about 4 points of water from the air. Then I used a bleach, water mix to wash down the plastic surfaces and leather cleaner to was the leather.

It helped.
