The car is a 2001 and I've never had this problem until recently. Everytime I use the windshield wipers and the washer fluid it come in the car through the vents. I know air comes in from the same area that the washer fluid drains but it's really strong, it smells like I used the fluid in the inside of the car rather than the outside. I've got to roll down the windows for a bit to get the smell out.

Wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or any suggestions?

The outside air comes into your car through the vents on the outside bottom of your windshield. So when you use your washers some of the fluid is coming into the vents. You can do 2 things, 1 is to turn your re-circulate air button on, this way the air and fluid won't come inside your car. 2 is to mix some water in your washer fluid to thin it out a bit, a lot of time washer fluid is in a consentrate form and a lot of people forget to mix in some water with it.
