Does it impede your sight lines when retracted?   I assume it 'lives' along
each windshield/Door pillar when retracted.  I try to "look through the
corner" as I wind through the mountains and canyons rather than right down
in front of the van...

I have those window rain shields on my 'other' brand van and I found that
having that tinted plastic extend down the pillar to the door sill was
really blocking my sight line...Had to dremel off the down portion to
minimize a 'semi-blind spot...  Might not be an issue with a vanagon..or
with the shades of Go Westie?..
   I use a fold up economy sun-shield in my vans and they really do help
keep it cooler...Also, at night when camped near a highway or any street
lights, they make sleeping better without having to have curtains...
