I have seen mold in the vents from A/C moisture build up. It is possible this is your case.
I suppose as an option you could shove a few xmas tree air fresheners in the vents.

there are several products you can run through the A/C intake by the windshield cowl that will kill bacteria and freshen your A/c vents. 1Z KlimaKleen sp? and I think Wurth makes a product as well. I have heard some people use Lysol with mixed results. If you goto www.autopia.com you can find more information on it.

do a search for `Clean 'N Coat` and BG Frigi-Fresh these products coat the evaporator.
Also try this for a week, for the last couple of miles before you park the car, just run the HVAC blower on high, no A/C no heat and then turn off the HVAC completely for a mile or so before parking. |

The drivewerks link points to the wrong product now. Search for "klima cleaner".

you want evaporator cleaner- BG makes a commercial product which will foam up and then drain out the evap drain. Find it online at amazon.
Aluminum evaporator/heater cores are more prone to this as copper inhibits fungle growth. M |
