Charter, these rats arnt already in the car before its closed, they enter the car some how after the car is all zipped up (happened to my tayas car too)... only way to protect car i guess is to leave moth balls (i hope i spelled it right) if leaving car in an area where rats are at large :P...
@Hash,
man, im sure the mercs leather was certainly more tasty than the local crap! lol.i hope your friend manages to get it fixed.
