I doubt that would be any kind of problem for them at all. I doubt the
charge would be much different from the hatch screen and it could have an
easy-to-open zipper down the right side. The attachment/fasteners would have
to be created. I think I'd go in the direction of velcro rather than snaps
for that opening. 3M makes some great bonding glue for this purpose. Going
to see how they do on the hatch screen first, then depending on the outcome
I'll look at the side screen.
