Hello,


First let me say I had no idea what I was getting into when I bought my '90 Westie two weeks ago.  I had always dreamed of owing one but never imagined what a large family of like minded Vanagon & Bus lovers there were out there (on this list and beyond.)  What have I gotten myself into?


I would like to know what is recommended to bring the pop top plastic back to life.  Mine is (red color) faded from the California sun.  I have tried a small patch on top with Armor All but I know that it is beyond that.  


Also I am looking for a price on new "Westfalia" Stickers for that top after it comes back with lots of lovin.


I am also interested in tires, my local Michelin dealer says that the 205 70 R14 MXL are no longer made.  I do a lot of highway driving and some Bay Area wet weather.  What are the new choices?


Thanks in advance for the responses.
