Subject:Re: Need info on window channel sizes for different year Vanagons.

I have power windows in my 89 Westy.  I ordered a set of clim-air wind/rain
deflectors from MacNeil Auto and I had to return them because the fit was
too loose.  A couple of weeks ago I ordered a set from Steve at
Eurocampers.com.  They are apparently made by the same German company that
makes the clim-air brand, but the ones Steve offers are a higher quality
grade than the clim-air grade.  They fit much tighter and are not loose at
all.  I will be keeping these.
