Coir! So the "Horsehair" comes from coconuts. India and Sri Lanka supply 90%
of the world's supply of coir (good ol' wikipedia). Now, just like Mr
McNeely's westy, my other 90 Vanagon is without that foam padding, instead
being equipped with the black rubber flooring--- yet it still has that VW
smell. did they use it in the headliner insulation maybe? How about the back
of that carpet over the engine lid?
