Ya mine too I have a 08 and I always keep a California Breeze gel airfreshner under the dr. seat. Works well, it's small 2" metal tin with gel inside. I bought mine @ "the dollar store." last for 2-3 months. GL

I like the dollar store stuff too.. I don't know why they call them dollar stores though, I always spend like crazy in those places and then have to find room for all of the stuff that I couldn't pass up.

Seems like you would have to steam clean or hot water clean the fabric, and then dry it really good so it doesn't get moldy.
