Sunroof deflector...damp smell source?
Hey all, i occasionally get a dampish musty smell inside the car after rain, but it doesn't usually hang around (or else i get used to it).
It's a bit annoying all the same. Today i got to looking and feeling around and it seems the cloth/textile wind deflector is damp and seems a good likely source of the smell. Is this normal? Is this solvable? Thanks in advance!

I wonder if you've got a blocked drain tube for the pano roof. My previous car with a pano roof never smelt & I never noticed the deflector being wet.

Not had it on a Volvo but on previous cars with drains it was a right faff to find & clean them.
Used to use a compressor & Air line on an old car that used to get the issue.
