Here's a bit of Vanagon Trivia I don't recall being  brought up before.  I
have a '91 Multivan here for service and was out  driving it the other day and I
notice something strange about the door's map  pocket.  Upon closer
inspection I find it is longer, 19 " to be  exact, than the ones on all other Vanagons
I've seen and it is  grey with a black stripe.  Now what's that all about ?
So  off to ETKA for some info.  Well, yes, the Multivan was given a  special
door map pocket that all other models were deprived of.  Part  # 255 867 131
6AW, lite grey, 19" long.  The well known, other  door map pocket, in brown or
black is part # 281 867 133 plus code for Brown or  Black.  Don't know if they
are still available as I've not called my  dealer.....yet.......tomorrow !
Sure would be nice to have MORE  storage space (:-)

Happy  Holidays !
