I had no luck getting those panel buttons off without destroying most of them. I found good, cheap replacements at the local hardware which do go in and out. I'd cover the fiberboard with material. Better yet, since the door-to-frame seal is gone, run a wire from the interior lites and put a couple VW interior lites on that fiberboard -- a great overhead lite setup for loading groceries in a dark parking lot. ---------- From: John Y.

Dear fellow listees, Does anyone out there know how to remove the interior fiberboard panels in the back of the Vanagon? I'm trying to remove the panel on the back hatch. Do the black "buttons" pop off/are they reusable/have to be destroyed? On a related note, do you have a suggestion for replacing the rubber tube that runs between the top of the van body and the back hatch? This the tube that covers the plastic hose and wires to the rear wiper/washer. Mine has fallen apart. Thanks, John Hung 84 GL Auburn, AL |
