the stock factory floor tracks and the beige painted aluminum decorative
cover plates came in the following westys only:
-all '84 WOLFSBURG GL westys (not the regular GL westys)
-all '85 GL westys
-and SOME early '86 westy GL's.

thats it..   in canada, some later model GL westys had the floor rails, but
they werent too common.

the only thing these aluminum track covers are for is decoration, and to make
the floor flush when the seat is not being used.  they are not crucial to
installing a middle seat in a westy, (a properly cut strip of wood can fill the
tracks when the seat isnt being used) but they do make a nice factory finish
touch.

i parted out a '84 wolfsburg GL westy a few yrs ago, and i had a set of these
floor track covers but they are long gone.
