Damp trunk and mold smell from A/C.. (archive)

1. I am requesting help for solving a wet trunk problem. I have replaced the trunk lid gasket, inspected the tail light gaskets and inspected all of the interior trunk caulking beads seem to be intact. My car is garaged and over the summer I let it air out until dry. But the problem has returned.
2. When ever the A/C is turned on, I can detect a mold odor from the vents. However, I don't smell it when the normal fresh air or heat is on.

These problems have been very frustrating to the point of wanting to sell my car. But I would really prefer to fix the problems correctly.

I have owned it since '97 when I bought it with 62,000 miles for $8K.

Thanks in advance for any help.
