Hello! A few questions concerning my Vanagon Westy '86, brown. 1. Does anyone know what to do with side mirrors that won't stay in place anymore? We've tightened the nuts on one of them 'till it got stripped (or maybe it was stripped before, I don't know) so we have to change that one; can just the screw in it be changed? The other one is either so loose the wind moves it, or so tight that I can't position it! What are we doing wrong?? 2. My "beloved" brushed by a concrete post when backing down the underground garage ramp after stauling the van. The rear panel on the driver side has some surface scratches in the paint. You can see the metal now, but it doesn't seem to be dented. (I didn't look at it too long, it was too painful!@#%@) What should I do to minimize chances of it rusting quicker than the rest of the vehicle? Also, how can I find the right paint? Brian says that the colour has faded and the original colour number won't match after 9 years. Direct replies are much appreciated. I'm trying to catch up with the messages, but I'm falling behind more and more every day! Thanks! Darie Westfalia '86
