Yes, we have that. :-)  $66.50, part # 253603 with brown trim or 255413 with
grat trim.  Has a zipper in the middle to allow easy access in/out of the
sliding door without having to remove the screen.  Includes snaps to install
around the perimeter of your door.

This screen is a direct replica of the one that Westfalia sold in Germany
for the Vanagon. As the Westfalia one was actually intended for '86-91
Westfalias, so it this one.  It will work in earlier Westfalias or
non-westies, but the locations of the snaps will not be exactly where you
might expect them to be due to differences around the inside sliding door
area (i.e. size/existence of the air conduit above the door).  So while it
will work on Vanagons other than '86-91 Westies, you will have to do a
little minor adjustment/fabrication to get a tight fit.
