That stinks - literally.

A while back someone posted about having mice in their car. I can't seem to find the thread, but from what I've seen with field stripping "Crashy", there are three likely points of entry for mice, which can be covered with 1/4" wire mesh to prevent this from happening again.

The first is the A/C outside air intake. Removing the passenger side wiper cowl gives access to this one.

The second and third are the two vents that allow air to escape when you close your doors. They are flappy louver type vents that are located just below the tail lights. They can be accessed most easily by removing the rear bumper, but can also be accessed from the inside by removing the hatch area side trim pieces.
