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.
