My Westy (manufactured 10/84, titled as an 85) has the tweedish wallpaper stuff. But for know painting the windows will be the way to go for now probally last longer and look cleaner. Thinking about redoing the pop top with a nice sueade from their. Looked at some of the faux material at this site they have a great selection and not a bad idea either. Sorry for interrupting but didn't know what you meant. I'd probably say paint but there are some nice faux leathers that can be washed. See the pic above, its coming unglued in that pic. it gets dirty, ratty and tears over the years. I think they started in '86, VW glued a white tweed/vinyl-like material (same as headliner material on passenger vans) around the windows. So far painting seems to a good way to go. We were talking about replacing or painting.

I'll try and take some pics for this thread later this week. The trim material gets dirty and ratty easily and doesn't look as good as paint in my opinion. I like them with just paint, like the older westfalias came.

I can always cut some sections out later. I still have my old headliner which is the same material. I painted one window frame and it came out pretty good. Though Id post a picture of the old worn out window dressing. Are you just going to paint or put the cloth back around the interior windows? I know gowesty sells it. Luckly there is no insulation in the back. hopefully yours doesn't have that.ġ963 Panel to Deluxe Bus project :::: (photo album) to make it look nice i had to remove it all and paint there. On my van there was insulation rear of the rear window. Its a bit of work to sand down all the old glue residue, but take your time and it will come out nice. Would I be better off just painting the insinde windows instead of replacing the material or if any one has already replace the cloth offer up some pointers on how to. The question I have is about the tweed cloth around the windows most is aleady tore out and replacing it seems to be a bit tough. In the process of replaing all the window seal and fixing some rust while im at it. I have been redoing a 1987 vanagon for the last year or so.
