not an urban legend..I promise!

I tried redyeing my 86 cabriolet rear window ledge a couple of days ago with RIT dye...BIG mistake! I shampooed it out but the smelly dye mixture soaked into something or dripped straight down in the structure of the car and now my beautifully detailed car ( clean GrandPrix White 86 Carrera Cabriolet
w/ blue interior and white Fuchs with 59K miles) stinks like the Great Salt Lake on a hot day, and it gets worse when I drive it. I suspect that the engine heat is "cooking" the dye salt residue somewhere directly beneath the rear deck and I wondered if someone more familiar with the structural layout of the car directly beneath the plastic rear window might have an idea as to where the dye solution might have dripped, making the smell so persistent and intensifying with the engine heat. Any ideas? I was thinking of calling CarTalk....and buying a carpet kit. Also, I'm having trouble finding a blue cabriolet carpet kit.
