When not in use, my small table top is mounted to the side of the rear
cabinets.  It's just high enough to rest lightly on the rear cushion so as
not to interfere with removing the cushion to get to the engine.  To use it
I must swing the large table away from the cabinets, open hanging closet
door, reach in and unscrew the knob to release the top and then install it
on the "L" bracket behind the drivers seat.  I have never had any problems
with this arraignment.  On later models like your 87, I understand that the
large table doesn't have to be swung away to open the hanging closet.  That
would make access to the knob (storage mode) even easier.

Hello-

Just drove home with my first vanagon, 1987 westfalia.  I see how the
back table can swing over the storage areas and be secured there, but
what about the front table?  The previous owner said he just kept them
in the garage and never used them.  It looks like the front table could
go behind the drivers seat, but keeping it from rattling is awkward.  I
dont see it there in any photos of people's interiors.  The manual
mentions where they go when they are used, and how to "install" them,
but nothing about storage.

Thanks,
