They are not on a website anywhere, but I have sheet metal plates, with
louvers stamped in them, covering the sliding window opening. I had them
made at a sheet metal shop in San Diego. Not cheap, because they have to set
up the dies. They also hemmed the edges for me. I painted them black, glued
window screen to the inside to replace the stock Westy screens, drilled
holes in the edges and attached them to the van with SS screws and finish
washers. The hardest part, not physically, was drilling the holes in the
van, but the benefits for me were worth it. You can leave the windows open
in the rain. Unless it is really hot, I can leave my dog in the van with
both sliders and the roof vent open. They are great for stealth camping.
