I've now mounted right side pockets on two vans. My experience exactly mirrored yours. I said several resounding unprintable things, and then repositioned it about 5" back. Incidently, an easy way to transfer the hole positions from the pocket to the door is to cut the head off enough 6 penny nails to fill all the holes points out, and then (once you've found the correct place for the pocket that doesn't interfere with the glove box), put them in the screw holes of the pocket (they're blind holes), and press the pocket hard against the upholstered side of the door panel to transfer. For our new '90 Westy, I simply repeated the process - used the predrilled holes, mounted the pocket, said unprintable things, and then remounted it.
