Never have found mice, but I did have a problem in Colorado years ago while doing a lot of solo mountaineering. Every night I was sleeping in my car (and I'm sure when I was away too), marmots would gnaw on the underside of my car.? Thankfully, they stuck with the undercoating, and left the wiring and brake lines alone!? I always checked before driving to the next spot.

About the same time, I drove from somewhere in the southern Sierras to Newport beach (SoCal). When I arrived, I wanted to check my oil, so I popped the hood, and something jumped out and ran off.? Probably a large ground squirrel- I'm sure it was really confused, but thankful to be out of the engine compartment! -Dave On Monday, June 29, 2020, 08:19:53 AM PDT, Chuck Harris <cfharris@...> wrote:
Spiders in the plugins?? That's nothing!? I don't think mine would work without the spiders and the stinkbugs. For me, it is usually some critter trying to pimp my ride with modifications to the vacuum hoses, wiring harnesses, undercoating, and any sound deadening material. Seriously, cars have been made for what, 150 years? At this point in time, the designers have every millimeter of the body and chassis in a computer, and know where every hole the size of a mouse exists in the chassis.? And, they *still* can't keep mice out of cars? For starters, they could stop making them out of tasty food. Wire insulation made out of soy, sound deading made out of corn, and undercoating made out of what?... Cotton candy? Sorry for the diversion of the topic.? I just spent another day de-mousing. -Chuck Harris Colin Herbert via groups.io wrote: Look 210mm from the front panel and 91mm from the base. I think it may have |
