Smelly air vets on Startup - no water draining from AC System? Anyone else?

It's the same issue I had when I bought my GLE. The smell was coming from the vent. All I did is spray a deodorizer (Lysol spray) into the vent on top of the hood closer to the windshield. While the vent fan is blowing full speed with all the windows open this allow the deodorize spray to be sucked into the HVAC system. Then I changed the cabin/dust filter (from the engine bay) and never had an issue after that and it's been over couple of years now with no issues.

Pretty much what you just said. That’s what works.

I'm pretty sure it was mold growing inside somewhere in the duct's because my wife is sensitive to any mold (It trigger sneezing). I was getting light headed from a musty smell, never knew why till my wife mention it days after we bought the GLE.
