My '81 Westy has an OEM threaded hole on the pillar ~ midpoint of the
table. Though I modified my table to sit higher, I run a bungee
between table arm and bolt with large washer at this threaded hole to
keep table from swinging out.

That said, on my '88 Westy, that pillar is covered in fabric. '90 is
same? Don't know if all model year Vanagons have the same threaded
hole at this pillar.

I'd often thought to make a restraining "strap" of some kind to fit
between a bolt at this hole and table arm. Could be as simple as a
Velcro strap?
