The first thing Paul needs to tell us is his location or how far he is willing to drive to get these parts which are prohibitively expensive to ship.
😉

I've done this before and can take you on a step-by-step install once you have all parts together.

It is possible to install the side table without changing the bench. However, you will need to cobble up a side panel or trim your padded panel to accommodate the framing of the table which usually goes into the recess in the plastic panel. (Thanks to Dan from Maui and his van Mint Julep for sharing this mod some 10 years ago.)

The other problem is w/o the narrower bench, you can only deploy your rear bench into a bed when the table is in the 'up' position. For some of us, that could mean a bump on the head when you wake up and forget the table is hanging over the bed.;-)
