Hey guys, sorry for the delay.

Def not mouse feces, unless I have like 200 mice in there.

It is 100% the EVAP Charcoal, thanks Holdem. I'm not quite sure why so many people jumped on the Mice. Was it all just to increase post counts?!?! Haha.

Anyways, thank you all for chiming in, now that it's been identified, has anybody experienced this before?!?!

Thanks,

What does any of this mean? LOL. We already determined it was the EVAP not he Cabin Filter (and yes, the CAF is in the Frunk).

I will take the front end apart and figure out how and why it's leaking.

Rodent problems are not uncommon in cars that sit in storage for a period of time, like Porsches often do. It is also a bit odd that carbon pieces from the filter would somehow end up inside the door.

Hahaha buzzm, I wrote that to get attention. Dennis C, it is the EVAP no rodents. I'm going to fix it later, and see how it's happening and fix it.

Dropping..

Mice or rodent dropping was my first guess. 3 years ago I had a rodent problem with my Pcar and the rodents caused $10,000 in damage. Had to get an engine harness replaced. When the dealer called my heart skipped a beat and I nearly passed out. Thank goodness you figured out your issues. Moth ***** are a great in keeping these rodents away. Good luck

Glad to hear it's not rodents. They do tons of damage, they like to chew wires, etc.

So did you figure out how the carbon pellets got over there? I've never seen anything like that.

Could swear they look like rodent poop (I had to clean out a lot of them last year when we had a rat in the garage!) but I am glad you figure it out.

I wish I didn't know this but....they look too cylindrical vs. tapered to be mouse/rat poop.

And that is a seriously heavy concentration. Did you touch them with your bare hands?!? There would have to be some sort of odor if its an infestation. And that is a huge amount for a cabin charcoal filter.

Did you try drawing with one on paper? Was it organic or not?
