Patrick,

I am inclined to think that you are referring to the Westy single middle
seat instead of the folding and removable jumpseats that Chris Gronski seems
to be referring to. The Westy single middle seat which sits on a locking box
has a seat which can be interchanged with the front seats. They did not
originally come with head restraints though the plugs are under the
upholstery so you can add them.

Cheers,

BenT
