Ralph has asked if I could send some pics of the screen. I'm going to post links for everyone to view as I've seen other's scratching their heads trying to figure out how to install these & it may provide some help. Keep in mind that I have a Riviera and the layout is different than the Westy. I found that the screen was a bit too wide, so I had a seamstress fold the vinyl over on the leading edge(the edge nearest the front of the van) and stitch it to the mesh. Near the top I had her fold the top over in a funky way and stitch it to help it mold around the door track intrusion a bit better. I put a couple of pics of that stitching in with the group. Your mileage may vary. Hope this helps! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2393.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2394.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2395.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2396.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2397.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2398.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2399.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2400.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2401.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2402.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2403.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2404.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2405.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2406.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4930890/VanagonSlidingDoorScreen/IMG_2407.JPG
