Hi Ray,

You need to have the original Westy windows to use the Westy screens.

Your window latch will be in the way and you will not be able to close the
window.  One solution I've seen to solve this problem is to screw a screen
to the frame on the outside of the van.  I think some of the American camper
conversions came this way.  It works well but looks lousy.

Another solution is our soft screen kits that you install inside with velcro
and snaps.  These will work with any Vanagon window and you can leave them
in place:

We are working on Westy replacement screens that made from aluminum, and can
be left in place only on the Westfalia windows.  I think these will be ready
in about a month.  We are working on some slight revisions after testing
them in several different year Westfalia campers.

We just recently uploaded a brand new website, and I think we could add some
better descriptions to our aluminum screen page to eliminate confusion.
