Air condition smell
I know this is quite a common topic, but lately the sour smell from the AC is getting quite unbearable. I've read somewhere its due to the mold/mildew in the condenser and I could get rid of it by spraying a mildew killer into the A/C intake areas while running the A/C at full blast. Question, can someone point me to this area? Has anyone done this and what killer did you use? Thanks!

Is the Air intake in the passenger side under the glove compartment?
