I bought a set from one of our vendors, the ones made by Weathertech.  They install very easily but the edges are milled so thin that they have chipped and broken in a couple of spots and I've had to mend them using thin copper sheet, fine wire and JB Weld.  I keep fixing them each time they break because I do like having them on the van.

The ones referenced on Samba have received mixed reviews due to fit and breakage.  I believe those are shaped more like the mini-pickup "blasters" that are L-shaped and fit in the front and top of the window opening instead of the ones like mine that fit along the top and extend down about 3 inches.

  Does anyone make those plastic rain shields for the door windows for
Vanagons?   They're attached to the top of the windows and allow the window
to be slightly down without rain coming in?   The Astro van I got has
these, made from a tinted lexan or something.   I like to have air
circulating into my van but it lives outside and we often see unanticipated
rain...wet seats and carpets aren't good...

...Love to have some for the Vanagon..
