info for those who asked about the EV screens: the screens themselves appear to be well made, however I'd say the Winnebago quality assurance needs a little work: item: the top snaps are supposed to line up precisely with the holes already in the frame - just remove the existing screws and screw in the snaps. But no, the center snap is off by 1-2 inches requiring me to drill another hole for it. This one goes into metal. item: 2nd snap up from the bottom right doesn't exist. Is it a misprint in the instructions or did they simply forget it? I'll see how well it works without it - and maybe pick up a new snap down at the marina. item: the measurements given for the base snaps are off. No big deal, as once I have the rest of them in its better to just line up the bottom and add the snaps to fit anyway. item: the right side has a elastic band which wraps around the base of the cup holder. They've thoughtfully provided a 1/4 inch spacer in the kit to go between the wall and the cup holder so that this strap can get a better grip. Unfortunately they forgot to include longer screws - the existing screws barely grip the plastic with the spacer in there. I had to run to the hardware store and find replacements 1/4 inch longer. No big deal, but one more minor annoyance. Now, the possibility exists that they sent me the screen for the 97 instead of the 95, although they did ask me which one I wanted and I told them. But still, the missing snap was mentioned in the instructions so I'm inclined to think that they simply screwed up. In any case, I only had to drill one new hole at the top, and I already had the plastic drilled when I thought of this. Plus I didn't want to go through the "send it back, order another one, wait 4 more weeks" hassle. It's workable, just a minor pain. Anyway, it's all together now, the door shuts with the screen in place,and the whole thing looks very good. The rear screen looks a lot easier to install - simply have to drill holes for all 4 snaps! -rick Rick Gordon Bainbridge Island, WA, USA ------------------------------------- rickgo@halcyon.com http://www.halcyon.com/rickgo/ KC7QEG finger for PGP public key fingerprint -------------------------------------
