youll have to remove rear rear sofabed and other fixed jumpseat if you want
to get the floor out..(basically gut your whole cargo area) and IIRC on the
westy weekenders  the screws thru the floor are under the vinyl laminate..  but
take the slider door threshold sill off first..

btw, i hope your doing this in a heated garage..alot of that stuff is post 86
westy only and not easy to find if you break it

why are u removing it anyway?  the fixed jumpseat bolts OVER the flooring.

i think your going to make the job alot harder than it needs to be...  IMO..
