Stopped somewhere quiet for a bit today and heard something moving around in the Passport! I live in the country so what got in here? Nope all windows and doors were closed - though I think I'll have to stop opening the moonroof vent to let heat out. It stopped, a few minutes later it came back and I was able to isolate it to my roof. Checked twice, no birds walking on the roof - it sounded pretty much like that. So I figure I have a mouse between my head liner and the roof.

Anyone had anything like this? If so how did you resolve it?

Never heard this, but if you live somewhere hot, I would say park it out in the sun as much as you can and let it get killer hot. You should know in a few days if you succeeded.
Otherwise not sure how you’d get him into a trap, so maybe just put a little green block of yummy poison in the little moonroof space and close it. You should know in a few days if you succeeded. 😆

That is just what I am trying to avoid! You know how quickly that would smell bad and that kind of smell can permanently infect plastics! I have no choice to park in the sun so I am hoping that doesn't happen. I'm going to see if the auto body shop can take my roof liner out and look on Monday.

That sucks, but I don’t blame you. How about a snap trap on top of your roof with some tasty cheese, peanut butter, etc. Maybe it will be enough to lure him out, and never go back in.

I have a bad history of dealing with mice in my vehicles.
A mouse can enter through a hole or gap the size of a nickel.
Check your rubber grommets for signs of entry.

That's crazy...

Please keep us updated,,,

I'd worry about it eating a hole thru your headliner to get out, if it got in thru an open sunroof, I'd leave it open and hope it takes the same exit...

I don't think it gets on the roof, more likely it got to headliner by coming up inside one of the pillars.

I had a mouse in my previous CRV. Got there from a box I was hauling, jumped from the box into the car. It took me a week to catch with glue traps. It was pretty emaciated from lack of water.

So what was the outcome of this?

Never heard it again, no dead mice smell. So I am assuming above post was correct that it was noises from the gas tank. I had just filled tank about 15 minutes beforehand. Though I've also not heard it again and have filled up twice since then. 😐

Well no mice is always a good outcome...glad you didn't have to deal with that/go down that road!
