Default musty smells inside my car
This only happens when it rains
I think its the air cabin? It might be the trunk too
any suggestions?

Change your cabin filter and check for any water leaks into the trunk, under the carpet.

Pull your tool caddy out and look for water there. There may also be water under the trunk lining. If there is, there are two plugs you can pull out. Be gentle and you can put them back in.

Look at the rubber grommet on the passenger side where the cabin harness runs into the engine bay.

Mine came loose and let in water everytime it rained or I washed it.
