So... I'm having a bit of a problem.
Short version: I need some sort of documentation from VW saying that it is safe to put a fifth seat in a early 2000s VW California T5.
Long version: Somehow our family of three ended up as a family of five, which is causing some logistical problems when it comes to using the California as it only has four seats. Or, in reality it now has five seats as I have already gotten the fifth seat and installed it on the rails, thinking that getting it approved by the authorities would be a breeze. Original T5 seat on original T5 rails shouldn't be a problem, I thought. The authorities begged to differ, and asked me to cough up some paperwork. A document from VW, or the the VW dealership in Norway, saying that the car can handle the extra seat. Problem is; since the car is imported to Norway from Germany (almost 20 years ago) the dealership in Norway (Møller Bil) isn't interested in helping me. And since the car is registered in Norway, VW in Germany won't help either, but keep telling me to ask Møller for help.
So, yeah...
Anyone got any ideas?
