You can also add one of these if you want a lockable secret compartment…

Is there a way to access that space by removing the front seat? I would like to more easily reach that area for sound proofing. I can easily take the seat out by removing the 4 nuts on the swivel but then I'm not sure if there is a way to remove the next panel. Perhaps it is welded in place but if removable that would be helpful. >> >> Thanks, >> >> Eric Caron >> 85 Westfalia GL auto >> >> >> > > ------------------------------ > > End of vanagon Digest - 29 Aug 2013 (#2013-395) > ***********************************************
