I was interpreting this from the instructions that say "wedges" may be needed
in some installations.  I would think that if this was the case for the
Vanagon, they would provide the wedges.  Here is the translation from my
German instructions.  Let me know if this sounds anything like the
instructions that came with your set.

"Assembly without drilling.
To begin installation of the draft deflectors lower the windowpane and press
the deflector up into the window channel.
The deflector will be held in place by the window guidance channel.

Carefully raise the window and check whether the seat is correct.

With some vehicles is the assembly with addition-wedges.

Scope of supply: In each case a wind deflector is provided for drivers and
passenger door.

Note: With the VW T4 with electrical window lifter the airlite cannot be
installed. "

I spoke with someone today who had installed these deflectors on their '93 EV
a couple of years ago.  Twice they had their window shatter for no apparent
reason.  This was a great mystery for them until I told them that the
deflectors were likely causing the problem.  Her Brother had brought them back
from Germany.

Is anyone familiar with the window units on the Eurovan.  I would think that
you would be able to adjust how high the window will raise so it doesn't press
against the deflector and place stress on the glass.
