    Westy interior removal

    BayTripper or Rallye dale or anyone else... When you take out the headbanger shelf, does it sort of drop down or does it slide out towards the front of the van? I only ask as I glued my speakers to the roof there, and it would be a pain in the bum if it slides out, I would have to break them...
