What are the most likely places to check where mice would be getting in? I thought it was the open area around the hand brake. I plugged that area with steel wool and they are still getting in. Are there any openings like in the firewall? Any where else? Thanks
A couple of suggestions (assuming you've already checked the obvious -- the kick panel vent doors -- make sure they're closed tight):

1. Check under the rubber floor mat for rust-through areas.

2. Check the wood floor in the rear for rot-through areas.

Take a close look at the rubber plugs in the firewall too.
