Well, I can see three advantages in my case. 1) If they're the same
height as westy seats, and thus shorter than regular non-westy seats,
I'm thinking I might  get a better view of the view of the gauges and
more knee clearance. 2) They recline all the way, so I won't have to
listen to my wife complain that the Vanagon seats don't tip back far
enough to take a proper nap on the road. 3) They're at least one year
newer than ANY stock Vanagon seat sold in the US, and subsequently are
more likely to be in better shape than the seats I have. Minor
advantages, but definitely worth the hassle. Particularly reason (2).
That particular squeaky wheel always gets first priority.
