Found this thread on TheSamba.com very helpful to anyone in a similar situation. https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=361807&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 Also found this source for #6 Stainless Self Taping screws, 100 for $7, free shipping. https://tinyurl.com/y6zth4mg Jack R. -----Original Message----- From: Jack R [mailto:jack007@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, August 6, 2020 12:55 PM To: 'vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM' Subject: Bus Depot Sliding Door Screen Question I just received my Bus Depot sliding door screen, which looks to be well made. However, there are not any suggestions or instructions where to install the snaps. I found these postings on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3fCZFTpOfw & in French... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OwA2TmzgIQ Does anyone have experience with installation of this great screen? I have an 84 Westy Wolfie, with the older style door (with the quiet close rear handle). BD provided the response below. Thanks!

It is a clone of an original German screen and if there were instructions for the original (which would have been entirely in German anyway) we have never found a copy. Basically you will want to have someone help you hold it up, mark out the spots to screw in a few of the included snaps around the door opening as desired, test-fit it, and then install the rest of the snaps. In terms of orientation, there is a slit near the bottom of the screen and that goes toward the front of the van, not toward the bench seat. Most people use self-tapping screws (available at any hardware store or home center) to attach the snaps because then you don't have to drill first. >
