I've read some of the comments on the odor but I decided to purchase at my own risk. I figured it could be a simple fix like taking off the lining and washing it. However, when I got the product, I didn't notice any type of odor. I think this product is great for the price and it does what I need it to do.

No smell at all and it attaches at the perfect height; I haven't taken a photo of my little darling, but she creates quite a sensation when another car pulls up beside us. There's even a strap to attach to her harness so that she can't fall out if she has her paws on the window to look out.

It does not, nor did it ever, smell. It's a great product & my granddog loves it!

It was a temporary, "new foam" smell. Not obnoxious. Like when you get a new car and it has a new car smell, except the new foam smell was subtle and went away fairly quickly. I remain pleased with the purchase.

The smell is a bit strong initially, especially if you leave it in a hot car. It goes away. I've had mine for about a year and I don't notice it anymore.

yes there is standard tire odor. It has been decreasing with time and usage.

No. I just checked mine after being in their container for a week and didn't smell anything

The first few I bought didn't smell but the last 3-4 did. It goes away but as I have a cleaning service, I have to let the motor run in my house a few hours before taking it on the road.

I don't remember having any gas fume smell. I did put this part on my '06 Silverado to correct a check engine light. This part did correct the check engine light......I think the code from AutoZone was something like "P0049 evap solenoid" also something about "purge canister"....I'm going by my memory from a couple of years ago, so I may not be 100% accurate on my code. If your truck has a check engine light with the same code, give this part a shot. Fixed my light for probably a couple years now.

I don't think that it smells at all. I don't remember it being smelly when it was new either.

It goes away after some time. Ours no longer smells but it was a few months time before that happened. If you have a garage you could place it in to air it out for awhile or place it outside if you live in a warmer weather state.

Sorry to hear that, ours did not have a smell since we received it...not sure what to advise you to do

No it is great! No complaints at all! We use propane gas and there is no smell at all

Because of the materials it smelled like a new car to me, although it dissipated reasonably fast I was never bothered by it. I can't remember when it went away but I've had it about 4 months and the smell has been gone awhile.

I only noticed a smell from it for a couple of days, after that I haven't noticed it and I have a good sense of smell. You might want to try it on just one seat and see how long the smell lasts before doing the whole car.

The smell dies down. There is still a slight smell at close proximity after continued use.

Didn't notice any smell at all. Maybe its just the new unit smell but it doesn't last. i would take it as a clean air smell.

It does have a plastic smell. It has kinda gone away now though. I've only used it a week probably. I only noticed the plastic smell at first but my car was hot from being in the sun. So I thought maybe that was why.

I had this stored in my office in the box for about 2 weeks til I put it together, & while not a gasoline smell, yes, there was definitely a very strong odor. It didn't smell like my grandma's cedar hope chest, more like strong, strong stain & wood odors. Once I unboxed it, the smell was pretty intense for another day or so, but by the time I finally got around to putting it together, which took all of like 20/25 minutes, the smell had pretty much dissipated.
