Default Rain = Smell?

anyways.
it rained the other day.
my car was under the roof of an open garage.
but may have gotten a little wet.
when i sat in my car it smelt a little bad.
does this mean theres a leak or something?
or is that just how it gets because of the vinyl top?
i know this has come up before.
but the search is down. so i figure i'd just ask since i dont remember.

If you think it is leaking try shin-itsu or however its spelled to re-lub the seals and hopefully seal it better. Maybe picking out a dry day to let car air out with the top down? Try checking carpet or seat for moisture.

When you get out of the car does it still smell inside?

When was the last time you changed your cabin filter (not your air intake filter)?

Does the musty smell come from the air vents or not?
