Subject:Re: Box behind/below driver seat.

Hi,

Due to the headrest and non-adjustable arm, I can only turn the driver
seat 90 degrees in our 86 Westfalia. The folks at Westfalia should have
put some more thought into this.

TIP: To make it slightly easier remove the springs that hold the
headrest in place. When you want turn the seat, remove the headrest
which allows you to recline the seat backwards by a mere one notch
before it hits the door but the comfort is worth it. Remember to put the
headrest back in when you go for a drive.
