Rear seat bunting & / or headliner bunting.

Possibly some broadcast sheet particles mixed in.......

Ha! I'm not the only one that had a mouse nest in the heater box!
I even found 2 skeletons in my Challenger.

No mice nests or skeletons nervous in my box. but plenty of leaves and dirt. And even a little red primer along with some red dirt from Georgia from where the car came from.

Looks like headliner material to me. Check above the sunvisors. For some reason this is where they chew a hole and come out. I think they use the sunvisor as a diving board in the summer time.

I read on here to point your sun visors straight down to make it harder for them to use the visors. I know it is not foolpruf, but I started doing it about 8 years ago just out of fear of being jinxed. So far no mice in my car, it sit's outside 3/4 of the year now. luck
