Then you still possibly have window seals, door seals, etc. where mold can grow.

An uninsulated, unheated garage will always have dew point problems. You would not only have to ventilate and heat to prevent mold, but also wipe dust and dry seals. A car doesn't really care about that. If it's only about aesthetics and the spore issue, then lime or silicate paint helps. Ventilation alone can even make the problem worse when warmer air enters the cooler garage.

Is the roof covering intact and is the drainage in order?

Always have a window tilted open - no problems for 2 years

No, that doesn’t happen if the garage is basically not sealed, so it is constantly ventilated. We have a solid garage and several metal garages, all unheated and uninsulated. But all have ventilation openings, the solid garage has holes in the back wall, the metal garages through the trapezoidal sheet roofs. And we don’t have mold in any of them.

But nobody does that, that’s why it rots. Ask the OP ;)

I don't see that. Then a car would also mold.



Exactly
