 OK man....you got me going!  Currently thinking of cheapo Home Depot grey Interior/Exterior carpet.  It is attractive (I've used throughout my Vanagon, others have even used as headliner on Pop-Tops).  It conforms, and readily attaches with spray contact adhesive.  It is warm to the touch!  It is incredibly durable as well....OK firewood...attack this!

  Yep Eric, I hear you.  On my 85 Tintop, right there on that Passenger Side rear panel, gouges into vinyl.  Happened before me!  Maybe too aggressive loading of firewood or cargo or whatever.  I have for 35 years just kind of gone with it.  It was black, and papery thin.  Every now and then I think....what about some spray adhesive....some vinyl fabric...heavy duty stuff.  And then...I relax...pause...do other stuff on Vanagon.
But for sure, with some good spray adhesive (like 3M 777 or equivalent, just some spray contact adhesive) and some nice vinyl fabric or whatever...yes, I think it could all be cleaned up in snappy fashion.

 Hi folks, 

Asking hear first. 

        The interior rear, passenger side panel on my 84 is suffering from vynal separation.  Other then that it is in good shape.  It is the non water bottle style. 

So, asking both for recommendations on how to cover.  Example a close match for a adhesive vinyl or similar cover.  Or. if by chance someone has a none crumbling panel replacement. 

I feel like there were some useful tips on this some years back with some product recommendations.

Thanks for tips or suggestions. I’m told the color is almond or tan.  Clasic 84 color I’m sure.
