Removing the Odor of Spoiled Food from Car?

I was helping a friend out a few years back and transported posole to a fund raiser and though we tried to level the trays, the juices spilled onto back seat and also in the space between where the back meets the seat. I've had the car detailed and the seats and rugs cleaned a few different times, but anytime the weather is damp or I run the car through a car wash, I get this awful, sour smell.

It is similar to when I've let a meat dish go past bad to "oh my word" in the fridge. My fear is there is nothing that can be done since the part that I assume needs to be cleaned is out of reach unless there is some way to remove the back seats. Any ideas are welcome!

If your car is less than 20 years old, there is a good chance that from the trunk, your seats can be pushed forward to fold down. (safety feature started when kids got locked in trucks years back) If they can, do that and see what you can clean from the trunk.

On my daughters car, the carpet will fold back to clean there. We did not know that until we saw the detail shop do that.

You can try a product called Nok-Out, which you can get on Amazon. If that doesnt work, you will have to replace the carpets
