Subject:      westy pop top inside covering "fabric" cleanup/ coverup
              question...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi, I am the new owner of a 82 diesel (soon to be veggie oil powered) westy, just trying to get her cleaned/ fixed up a bit..


Anyway, this question relates to the inside covering on the pop top, first of all, what is it (anyone know how they attached it in the first place), did they just spray it on or something like that?  Anyway, this felt like "fabric" was fairly moldy when I got the bus, and the mold has since been killed, but there is still a nice stain across most of the roof...  I have tried several stong cleaning products without making a dent, so now I am leaning towards covering this up...  BUT it is definatley not a choice surface to attach anything to..  Has anyone tried painting over it with anything?  Or carefully trying to glue new fabric on top?  Is there such thing as a spray on coating that has a similar look to the existing coating?


Any input on what you would do with this problem would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!
Greg
