Does your vanagon still have these? Are they highly recommended? Mine came only with the bottom baffle, so should I order the set?

I just ordered this a while back. You should have received all 3 pieces.
They help direct the air flow into the radiator instead of around it. My old ones were nearly completely destroyed; pretty much non-existent.
I had a hard time figuring out how to attach the two side pieces, so I improvised. If anyone else can post a picture of how they attach to the body, it may help both of us! |

An alternative is to make your own -- old election signs in corrugated plastic provide a nice material source.
If you want the patterns PM me with your email address.
Either way - you're going to have to be a bit crafty to fit the sides. |

Hey thanks, I will be sending a PM. I just installed a new condenser so I had to craft new attachments for both top and bottom. Hopefully I can figure out fit out of the sides. Do you have any pics?
BTW, the PO had installed a new radiator so the radiator hose attachment is not the same as the OEM - would have to modify the store bought items anyway if I bought them. Making my own sounds the way to go.
