Black soot/dust collecting in my car's interior
It looks like some sort of black dust slowly and constantly builds up all over my cabin, mainly around the rear deck behind the back seats. It has been doing this for years. If I wipe down the back seat (which hardly gets used), my cloth is covered in this stuff.
Any ideas as to what it could be? I looks like brake dust.

I do have a slow valve gasket drip that does not create visible smoke. Could this be it?
Has anyone installed a cabin filter? Is it difficult?

If you remove the center console insert (the one between the two front seats) you'll gain access to the rear vent; the vent has some kind of foam seal where it connects to the air duct and the seal gets old, dry and starts disintegrating. Take the vent out, clean the residue and replace with some foam from the hardware store. I know it will solve your problem. Good luck!

I searched all around my car and it looks like I have a small amount of mold growing on the rubber that lines the interior bottom of the window glass on one of my doors. I sprayed that and my air vents with lysol. Hopefully that solves the problem.
