Question from HEG

About 2 weeks ago I got my car back from the body shop following repairs from a tree falling on it. The repairs involved some repainting and gluing the back windshield onto the car. I have been placing it in the hot Florida sun every day and opening all windows every time I drive, and wiping the seats off. The smell dissipated significantly after a few days, but it is still there. Any thoughts on how long it will take for the fumes to off-gas?

Debra’s Answer

I don’t know how long, but you are doing all the right things.

I don’t have any personal experience with this to draw upon. Readers?
