Subject:      Rear hatch screen install w/ passenger AC
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I ordered a rear hatch screen from the Bus Depot for my 90 Carat. Good
looking product, came with all the snaps, has a zipper down the middle, but
does not include the screws (6 x 5/8 oval head Phillips).


When I went to install it that I realized the factory AC plastic panels go
all the way to the edge of the hatch seal leaving no room to drill into the
metal to attach the snaps. Has anyone installed a screen with a similar
setup?


It seems like I could install the snaps into the plastic, but I am worried
the screws will pull out from repeated use. Any suggestions on how best to
do this? Would you use something other than sheet metal screws for the
plastic?
