This may be due to part of it's life having been spent in Arizona's deserts in the summertime. <A/C, we don't need no stinking A/C> I too, would like some recommendations on A) Removal techinques (hair dryer?) B) Replacement materials, procedure, etc It was recommended to me to strip it all off spray with aerosol type glue and press fabric in place. - Jeff '80 Westi > on 26-Jul-1996 00:12:01 -0500 Kyle Wade wrote: > When you open the rear hatch on the roof there is the textured > wallpaper type stuff gluded and stapled to the underside of the cabinet. > When I went and got the van it had peeled off almost all the way.
