Subject:Re: Z-bed cushions interchangeability?

A "Z" bed is a Stationary rear seat which was converted by the
aftermarket using a VW branded "ZVW" part. So someone may sell you a Z bed
seat and you may end up with the wrong part.
    You should be looking for a camper type rear seat which is narrower
than a passenger van  or the factory made convertible rear seats in a
standard passenger van or the Multivan has a different seat from either of
those or there is always the Z bed which is actually a non movable rear
seat converted .
