We have them for $27.95 each. If you're buying both sides your order will exceed $50 so your Vanagon List discount will take off another 5%.  Use code list1e on checkout.

They are aftermarket, and while I would not say they are quite as good as original VW they do the job.  The ones I've seen that sell for twice the price are often the same ones under different brand names.
