I have  an 85 Westfalia GL, and up until now I thought i had different
upholstery than  everyone else.  Why
is this called corduroy?  It looks more like  velour to me!  Anyway.  My
van has 300k kilometres (about
180k  miles) and the upholstery is almost like new.  And believe me I've
got a  big enough butt to do
some serious damage to the seats if I tried.  I  do live north of the 49th
if that makes a difference UV
wise as I've never  had a garage (sorry except until recently - it now
spends winters in a  garage).
Pictures available upon request.












'85 westy full GL campers got tan herringbone velour
'85 westy weekenders got shreddy tan corduroy


the corderoy doesn't hold up well, the velour  does.
