Hi All, Exactly what I just did ! I traded both of the seats from my Westy With Carat seats. Approximately what, two inches higher and 2 inches longer? (or there bouts :o) And Way More Comfy !!! I am also using a Gel pad from Brookstone On the drivers side. And ( of course :o) 12v timed heat pads on both !!! woo hoo :o) Genuine Sheep Skin over the top of everything! Nice !!! :o) I don't use a gel pad on the passenger side. So the height of the turn table isn't such a factor for that side. And my Significant Rider Spends a lot of travel time on the folded down rear seat, napping! :o) But, On the Drivers Side, Because of height of the seat, And even though I'm not of large stature ( 5'10" ) & I guess it's not all in the legs either :o) I removed the Turn Table on the Drivers side. I've never really used it any way. So, with everything on, the driving height is perfect !!! ( for me) This works out really well for me !!! Of course, (most discriminate) list-ies ... YMMV !!! :o) Best, JC... -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Mike Collum Sent: Friday, February 20, 2009 7:22 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Eurovan seats into Vanagon Westy?

My wife doesn't think the Westy front seats offer enough support under her thighs so I swapped the passenger front seat with the one from my 7 passenger. The passenger van seats are a little longer and a little taller but they use the exact same rail configuration. Mike |
