While doing research in the junk yards( I like to call it that, keeps
the wife baffled) about gauges mounts and consoles I found that the
front speaker mounts out of some Rabbits and Jettas will mount on the
vanagon door panels right under the chrome strip and allow you to have
access to the glove compartment as well.  If this sounds like something
anyone on the List might like to add to their van keep an eye out for
the assemblies, the dealer still carries the parts but the speaker grill
is 18.00 USD each, I got a pair of speaker grilles for 5.00 USd at a
yard in SOCal.
