 Ed or Carat 7 pass. and mount it behind the pass seat in a westy.
 Easy to put in/ take out, and they have seatbelts attached to the hardware.
 
 these only came in grey velour, tho you could always re-upholster since the
 seatcovers are the same as the front seats. (get a spare front seat and use
 the cover off it)      chris >>

The "Light Grey" velour was the most common color.  The color is almost
identical to the "Grey" velour that my van has as standard.  I added the rear
facing seats in my 87 (emial me if you'd like instructions) and I'm certain
that no casual passenger would notice the difference.  The "Grey" color has
the same color background, but with a small darker grey squares pattern.

They came in at least two other fabrics as well.  1989 Vanagon Carat
Wolfsburg Limited Editions used a bold diagonal pattern, and the 1990 & 1991
basic Vanagons (no GL) used a grey tweed cloth.
