That's really too bad.  WW's are really nice, slip right in and look just like 
original.  I don't know what the problem on material would be.  As far as I 
know Clara still advertises on the Samba and makes hers.  Saw her ad just the 
other day for the early original door panels with the side pockets.

I had talked tpo them last winter about getting some new headliner boards, 
that's when he told me.I emailed today and said the same thing.Clara aka 
Sundance or something like that still has her site up but doesn't make them 
anymore.

Paul:  You may be correct.  Have ordered both the kick panels and the headliner 
panels from them before and they were so cheap that it is not worth going to 
the trouble to make them.  They still show all of the grey impregnated tar 
board liners in their catalog, both hard copy and on line.  However, online 
they show all of them not in stock.  Haven't talked to them about it though.

Not available from Wolfsburg West , can't get the original style material 
anymore.Tony says he hopes to find material in the future.Evidently it's almost 
a hand laid process and just not enough demand for anyone to make.?
