I have the last 6 new front windshield curtains in existence that have
this original gray Westfalia pattern. These are genuine Westfalia
inventory and were discontinued 15 years ago; when they're gone there
will be no more.
I also have aftermarket ones in solid gray. They're cheaper but do not
match the original pattern (or texture).
Also, I have one set of curtains left that go behind the drivers seats
to separate the cab area from the back. These were a European-only
Westfalia option, and include the curtain track and gliders. This is a
different pattern from the above, containing mostly light brown but with
some blue and gray. There's a picture on my site.
The above items are accessable through the following link:

On a similar note, I have gone through my remaining inventory of the
genuine Westfalia rear seat and mattress upholstery, interior door
panels, and other items that I brought back from Germany last year, and
have put most of them back on the website (with pictures in many cases).
They're 50-80% off original VW prices. These are brand new, left over
from when Westfalia stopped Vanagon camper production. If you click on
the year of your Vanagon from the main page, and then scroll down,
you'll find most of them listed there as Bargain Bin items. Get 'em
while they last; I've tried and failed to locate more, so I expect this
will be the last of them ever.
Incidentally, I have a very rare Westfalia accessory coming from
Germany, which should be here in about a month. It is a specially
designed noise-absorbing pad that goes between the rear mattress and the
engine deck, designed to mute engine noise from inside the van for a
quieter interior ride. This sold for over $400 when last offered from VW
(only in Germany). I'll have 10 of them for around $185 when my
shipment arrives. These are the last in existence, and were never
available at all in the U.S, so they're extremely rare. I'll post
details once they're here.
