Angry Please help, my car stinks! :(

So, about 8 months ago, I had to transport in my S2K a steaming-hot pot full of meatballs. Ever since then, my car has stank of old meatballs. Sometimes, I won't smell it for a few days and I'll think it has gone away, but then the smell will invariably come back after a while (usually after it rains or if it's real humid out).

Anyone have any ideas of how to exorcise this horrid stench from my car? I've tried wiping down all the leather with Lexol leather cleaner... I've also wiped down the vinyl parts with some sort of vinyl cleaner, but the smell still remains. It reminds me of the "valet with BO" episode of Seinfeld.

I don't even know where the smell is coming from anymore... perhaps it's soaked into the convertible top? Is there some sort of spray I can use that'll eliminate odors? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
