Default Mice getting inside my car. HELP!

Ive had a few occasions now where I'm finding evidence of mice inside my car. The first time, i gutted my interior and trunk. and couldn't find where they came in. I'm 99% positive there leaving after they eat whatever. There not tearing up the seats or the carpet. But i cant figure out how there getting in. Anyone have any ideas? My only thought was the cabin air intake, but that comes in threw the cowl I think, so not big enough to get in.

Thanks for any ideas.

Try the traps, maybe get lucky and get the ones that like you're car. As for them getting in, mice can get through a hole or space the size of a dime.
