i bought a pair of ClimAir deflectors from MacNiel and they fall out.

These are different than the ClimAir deflectors, though they are made by the
same company.  They are marked Aerolift on the outside surface, and stamped on
the inside surface A Clim Air.

I have never seen the MacNeil deflectors, but have been told by several
Vanagon owners that these fit better and are made of thicker plastic.  I'm
wondering if MacNeil didn't get a batch designed for powered window Vanagons,
and mine are designed for non-powered models.

I'm going to fax the company in Germany tonight and see if they can clarify
this.

So far it looks like these work great unless you have power windows.  I will
gladly refund the listmember with the power windows, and try to find him some
deflectors that fit.
