.....and good luck getting in and out of the seats with those tall side bolsters. If they aren't worn when you get them, they soon will be. I find that on a stock-height van, it's tall enough of a reach for many folks to slide into that stock seat, I'm sure that GLI seats will make it that much harder. I drove a '90 GLI for years, and currently drive an '87 Westy, so I have firsthand experience with each. I wouldn't dream of putting those Recaros into my Westy. I'm getting to old to have to work that hard.
