Hi Roy,

Congratulations on finding middle seats! If you are mechanically inclined you can install them yourself. All you need to install them is a short flat blade screwdriver. Use the screwdriver to remove the cap screws, then lifted off the metal panels to expose the rails. For one seat, remove one short panel and one long panel from each rail channel. Then slide the seat onto the rails. Make sure the rails have mated properly with the seat. Next line up the holes in the seat bottom with the holes in the rail channels, then screw down the seat with the cap screws. Save the long panels someplace, and reinstall the short panels. 

Cheers,

Raymond

I am contemplating getting one to allow the young fellow, and his car seat, to ride a little closer to the front of the vanagon ... so I can actually hear him and he me.
