That looks identical to the OEM swivel. To get to the battery in my '87 I
rotate the seat 180 degrees (facing backwards) and slide the set all the
way towards the front of the van. With the seat in this position I'm able
to access the 4 screws holding the battery door and remove/install the
battery if necessary.
