Adam,

I had a similar problem on my 80 westy. Went to the local fabric store (FLFS) and bought a long length of velcro (both pieces - hooks and loops). With my wife sitting in the luggage rack and me inside, we passed a needle back and forth sewing on the velcro to the fixed canvas. I then sewed the other part of the velcro to the flap portion. Work great. I did permanently sew the screen canvas so access to the luggage rack from inside is not possible.
