Abstract
A form fitting flexible sheet van barrier wall is held in place by reusable adhesive strips as a dust sealing thermal barrier for mounting behind the driver compartment of a van to divide the van into driving and working compartments. The sheet may be rolled up and stored adjacent the van roof. The flexible sheet carries a window which may be opened to permit the flow of air between the compartments. Also weight bearing accessories are provided on the sheet for storing items such as coat hangers and work tools. The barrier comes in an assembly manually retrofittable to vans without tooling or van modification.
