Hi Greg, I have used this configuration on 4 minivans now. It is set up on a 3/4" plywood base that clamps to the seat connectors, then I just put a piece of carpet material, that is larger than the area, so it goes up the side a bit, to protect. It works well for me. Mind you, a lot of stuff I carry, is seldom used, but I like to have it, just in case. The van has reflective letters on the windows, so it is a good advertisement, as well. They stick on, so when the van is sold, a razor takes them off. I could send a picture of the side view, with the signs, if anyone is interested. Regards, John M.
