I must have gotten a particularly "fresh" one , cause I thought I skunk let loose in or near my car when I was driving home. It stayed in the garage for a month or two to complety air it out.
I have read before that some smell really bad. I have never had that problem. Each section marked on the large mats is identified with a letter. Someone had the theory that the ones that are marked with numbers instead of letters are manufactured at a different plant and they contain a slightly different materiel that creates the smell.
