Exclamation Help!!! Mold in the leather interior!!!

What can I do and is it fixable?

CL sat for over 8 months and now I discovered mold in the leather seats and panels...! FML!

I only have 24 hours to figure out if this is fixable or not.

Supposed to go through with a deal to purchase a motor to fix the CL and don't know if the moldy spots are a deal breaker.

Please help if you can...!

I saw that they had a thread on another forum but I need more info. from my trusted Aziners!

Any body have experience with this?

Any help is greatly appreciated and I'm going to try and post some pics tonight.

But hopefully I can get some valuable info with out pics.

What I seem to be hearing is that if it's surface mold it would be ok but...

If it isn't then yeah I'd be screwed.

Leather Master's Mold Remover you may notice dark or white blotches where two areas of the leather touch or areas not used. If the contamination is not removed, the fungus will dissolve the leather, forming small pits. Just like mould and mildew contamination in other areas, you cannot wash or shampoo it away. This only makes the problem worse. The fungus is caused by living organisms that must be killed before the leather is cleaned. This product is effective on most forms of bacterial or fungus growth.

You could treat the foam by using a syringe to inject mould treatment

Alternative product- EM mould treatment - LTT
