Chuck,

Listee Dan Danrich installed such an interior in his GL van Ice Tea. He
installed the Wolfsburg Edition (same as Multivan ext). folding side table
w/o the plastic panels. I cut the original GL panels to accommodate the table
mechanism.

The problem with that arrangement is the old GL Weekender bench is too wide
for the table mechanism. You can only open the bench into a bed if have the
table deployed. I'd hate to be sleeping on the bed and forget about the table
being out. <bonk>. It's good compromise and it looks sharp if you are willing
to accept that.

I installed one of these tables on my 87 GL. The jumpseat is in place. I also
got a Wolfsburg Edition rear bench which is about 3 inches narrower than the
GL bench. Thanks to grumpy dwarf Listee Terry Kay, I got the proper side
brackets for mounting them. Take care to take these brackets out when buying
the narrower benches. It basically consist of a square tube 1.75" with a bolt
welded on one side and a nut welded in the opposite side. This gives it ample
clearance to clear not only the table folding arm but also the plastic side
panels.

How to webpage to follow later.
