L Shaped Wind Deflectors.

Do you guys over here have these? I got a set and fitted them to my van last weekend just before I blew my engine up (the two are not related Laughing

) and it has made driving in hot weather and rain more pleasurable experience. I spoke to the fella who makes them and he said he would ship world wide if you guys dont have them.

I thought I would share the love and video a review on them Very Happy

The slammed-and-convertibled mini-pickup crowd refer to those things as "blasters" and there must be some that can be adapted to fit a Vanagon. Never used them or seen 'em close up but I think they screw to the doors.

I like the idea of it, particularly in rain.

Wonder what the decrease in airflow really is?

Those are nice Very Happy

I yanked out the plastic ones that go across the top of the window. They kept falling down.

Maybe we could do a group buy to save on the shipping

I would also like a pair of these. The "Group Buy" idea is a good one!

I'd be in for a group buy! I wanted them as soon as I saw them...

Those look so much better than the chintsy weathertech ones I've got on my Vanagon right now. Emailed him, hopefully post costs to Washington state aren't too high..

those are neat, kinda grandpa-ish but quite useful though.

I'd be interested in hearing a price and being part of a group buy in the US. Perhaps someone in each region of the country could break down a larger shipment and re-ship to members in their area. Someone smarter than me on shipping would be great to hear from - that may make shipping evaporate the cost savings vs simply ordering straight from the UK vendor.

SAMBA!

I see at least 6 people in the PNW that want these. I make seven!! That should make it worth his time to ship to Washington State and keep the shipping cost down for everyone.
