.....and good luck getting in and out of the seats with those tall side
bolsters.  If they aren't worn when you get them, they soon will be.
  I find that on a stock-height van, it's tall enough of a reach for many
folks to slide into that stock seat, I'm sure that GLI seats will make it
that much harder.
 I drove a '90 GLI for years, and currently drive an '87 Westy, so I have
firsthand experience with each.  I wouldn't dream of putting those Recaros
into my Westy.  I'm getting to old to have to work that hard.
