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.

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