Ken -

What year did they start adding the fiberglass insulation to Westies?  I
hope it was by early '87!  I have been thinking about doing the job when
I get mine back from Atlanta, but it doesn't sound like any fun.
:-(

 PS - I located a Bentley for $37 plus shipping by using
www.bookexchange.com  I tried searching on author Bentley / title
Vanagon and got a couple of hits, but the used one for the 87 was
located by leaving author blank and just using the title Vanagon.  Took
me a week of checking back before one popped up, so if you are looking,
it might be worth a try.

John, first be sure that all of your door seals and window seals are in
good
order.  These can make some racket if they are bad.  Next you could try
pulling all the interior panels and insulating the van with fiberglass
insulation.  That is what VW did on the later model Westies and
Wolfsburg/Carat Vanagons.
