Both mine and my son's battery box were damaged.  Mine was sawed down about
2" on both sides, but at least the carpet was pulled down. The '87 had the
lip bent up and back a bit. Westfalia should have put instructions on the
battery cover.

wow.  i wonder if he can tie his own shoes?   good thing he didn't have to
replace the westys battery, im sure he would have used a sawzall to get the
battery out. (yes i have seen that done before , im totally serious DPO
could not figure out how to reverse seat swival and slide it to get at the
top of the battery so he just cut the back sheetmetal thru the carpet!!!)
