Listees, Triad Magnetic Van Screens, 4155 Friendship-Ledford Road, Winston-Salem NC 27107, 336-769-2427, makes Vanagon front window screens with flexible magnetic strip completely around the edges, giving a good bug seal. They must be placed on the outside of the van (don't work on the inside surface). Quality and function are sufficient, if not impressive. Around $35, also carried by J.C. Whitney (beware!). They also make a "VW Vanagon Sliding Door Screen With Zipper" for $51.86 + $5.57 shipping. I haven't tried this one. If anyone else is braver than I am and tries this out first, please tell us all how you like it. John Welsh, San Diego 87 Syncro Westfalia GL 81 Triumph TR8 |
