Ron, will these fit the 86-91 Vanagons with the fiberglass bumpers? I
seem
to recall that their installation would interfere with the side skirts
on
these bumpers.

Kevin FWIW, I scoped-out a ~90 Vanagon full Westfalia Camper with full
side-skirt cladding and the OE German Mud Flaps installed front and
rear. Taking a closer look, kneeling down in the mud to see how they
fit; the cladding was notched at the bottom to clear the mud-flaps.
 From my less than stellar recall, the height of the cladding looked as
if they fully covered the upper-part of the mud-flaps too. Whether this
was a custom-fit job I donno?

Anyway, on this particular Van they looked good and the installation
was exceptional clean and well executed. Others (with Cladding) may
chime-in here, to confirm if the OE Cladding is "notched" to clear
around the mud flaps or if this is a cut-to-make-fit job.

Good luck with your project...
