Is this ALWAYS the case?!  I'm looking at my body (my Vanagon's, not mine)
seeing it needs some body work (though, admittedly, I do too!),  the seam
under/behind the drivers door, and perhaps another seam in addition to some
of the windows (coming out from under the rubber) has rust.  Not through,
but there.  Should I start planning the funeral??!!

Is this seat easy to find/install?  My family fills our GL and we're always
toting someone else in addition.  This would be a great addition!
