The GoWesty instructions were explicit enough when I installed mine. However, mine is a camper. The screen was factory on the rear, so snaps are already in place. And maybe on a camper, the details around the door and seats differ somewhat? At any rate, the side door screen does not fit well enough to serve its purpose very well. Bugs can get in around it. I think that would be true regardless of the exact placement of the snaps. The vents above the door interfere, as does the seat belt for the front seat, and the fire extinguisher bracket. There seems to be no way to place the snaps so this would not be true. But, maybe there are some dumb bugs, and the number getting in is less than with no screen at all. mcneely
