    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

It seems like it's finally time to spray some Lysol into my vents as the smell is really moldy when I use my AC. However, I'm truly puzzled by the location of the outside vents.

Is this the only area from where air gets into the cabin? It's weird as on other cards there were rather large areas vs this one tiny hole.

TLDR: is there the place where I should spray some Lysol in?

UPD: it's a small little area in between two windshield wipers

Better check to see if your AC evaporator discharge hose is clogged up.
 
You check your cabin filter?
 
That sweaty sock smell is quite normal unfortunately. Almost every vehicle I have had develops this in no time. But usually only occurs if you have AC on and then turn it off, not while AC is running. I used to do the Lysol thing as well periodically. However, If yours smells while AC is on, then suggest you have a more serious issue.
