sure to clean all the crud from under your luggage
rack. When I did this replacement on my 80 westy I
installed four of those little curved screens that
they use for wasking machine hoses. I just glued them
to the underside with the screen sticking through.
Hopefully it will cut down on the crud for the new
owner.

Dana, you may be interested in my latest Technical
write-up on this topic, found here:

As Chris says, a lot of crud can accumulate under the
Westy luggage rack, contributing to moisture and rust
problems. The garden-hose screens solve this problem.
And the stainless coachman's loops from GoWesty really
help return some sparkle to the old roof.

Here's the overview and parts list for a complete
refurb of the Westy luggage rack and pop-up roof:

I plan to add a similar write-up for the Camper roof
and canvas quite soon, so please check back.

Good Luck!
