I just bought my first Westfalia. It is my 8th VW, second Vanagon,but first full camper. The owner gets back in town tomorrow, I am beside myself with excitment. This is worse than a child on Christmas morning. I can't even focus on work, it's all I can think about. OK I have it under control!! Are 84 models prone to special problems that I should be aware of ? It only has 61,000 miles on it. The PO said he put a new clutch in less than a year ago. Is that normal? My other Vanagon has 110k on the original clutch. The AC compressor sounds like it has loose marbles in it. I know don't run it. I will likely unhook it to avoid messing it up. The last question is what type of glue should I use to reattach the sagging top seals. They are in good condition but they are coming loose from the fiber glass. Will contact cement work? Excuse me while I do little volkswagen dance. I await your response. If you can please call with advice 1-800-264-6757. Kenneth Winter
