Hi Mike,

Unfortunately you do have to drill your own holes for the snaps.  Or you can
do what I did and use some small rare earth magnets to hold your screens in
place.  Check out http://www.wondermagnet.com for examples.  I used size #2
(1.4" x 0.8") in the corners and a few size #3 (3/8 x 1/8) button magnets to
hold the top and sides nice and tight.  I first tried this idea for  the
rear screen on my '72 bus to hold the sides tighter on particularly buggy
nights.

No need to drill all those little holes in your baby, and no broken snaps
down the road.  Also nice when your dog completely loses control and goes
thru the screen to chase the squirrel outside, as the screen will pull away
instead of tearing, no matter what angle it is hit at (equally effective
with drunk friends).  Take my advice and order a bunch of extras, you will
be amazed at how many uses you will find for these little guys.

                                                Hope this helps,
                                                Jay Brown

Subject: Sliding door screen

Volks,

I bought a screen for the sliding door in my Westy from a fellow listee.
Got it today.

I don't see where it snaps in.  There are no snaps around the sliding door
that I can see.  Do I have to install them?

TIA

Mike
