The L-shaped ones from T3 may have had some fit and durability problems.  There's a Samba thread on these, see link below.  I bought the Weathertech ones years ago and they work but have become chipped/broken where they fit into the track and have had to be patched a couple of times.  Still in use. http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=484038&highlight=blasters Stephen

Still getting the WeatherTechs, but on second thought, the T3's vertical piece would probably reduce wind resistance and noise somewhat while driving.  I think I mainly wanted them for the ability to leave windows cracked open when it's raining. Patti
