I've looked at this for mine, but concluded it would mess up the use of
the bed; how did you get around this?

Subject: Westie Rear Seat Head Rest Installation

We finished a day-long project yesterday.  Installed three headrests on
the
rear bench seat back.  Got a dog chewed seat from a Vanagon at Campbel
Nelson with 3-matching OE headrests  complete with extra middle seat
belt
for $99.  Bought hardware for about $8.  Tore the seat apart (anybody
want
parts for a wider Z bed (non Westie)?  Took out the headrest parts....
took
apart the rear seat back in the Westie (complicated construction) and
installed the parts using modified hardware.  Installed the extra
seatbelt,
then reinstalled the seatback.  Total project time was aboutd10 hours.
Looks spif and seems to be quite functional.  Ah... we know that
seatback
well!! The nice thing about headrests being there is they will now hold
the
pile of gear from creeping forward... which of course means we can take
even
more gear!!!..... right??
