Re-produce the utility covers!   I am missing the flap for one of mine (H2O
tank, I believe) .  Seems like it wouldn't be too hard?  It wouldn't have
to be perfect, I'd buy a set of three.
        Jay et all, it has already been done.  Guess you missed my post to
the List a while back.  A Montreal member of Quebec based club Club
international de camping-car Westfalia {http://www.westfalia.qc.ca/} has made them.  I am
a distributor.  They are listed on my Vanagon Items Forsale
{http://members.aol.com/Fkc43/sales.htm} webpage.  Westy service entrance door w/pin, similar to
OEM, made in Quebec, QCD001 - $21.75 CND ~ $17.00 USD.  They are black, look
almost like the originals, use Velcro, which is provided, to keep closed and
include a new wire hinge pin.  You may be able to use your old spring if you
still have it.  I have not yet tried to do this.
