Me too!  I got one for my '84 Westfalia from Bus Depot and I can't figure
out how it goes either!  It looks too big, but there must be a logical
position for it.  Hey Ron, how about some instructional assistance here for
us dummies...

Subject: sliding door screens


I just bought a sliding door screen for our 82 westfalia. I took the screen
out to the vehicle and held it up against the inside of the door. I can see
where the rear side of the screen logically should be placed, and
stretching the screen as taut as the rear hatch screen fits I can roughly
place the front side such that I can mark the placement of the front snaps.
The front side seems to be somewhat more forward than I had envisioned and
seems to interfere with both the seat belt retainer and the snap for the
front window curtains. The top of the screen also seems to be more highly
placed than the somewhat hazy image I had in my mind. Has anyone else
installed these screens that might have some detailed photos of this area
or perhaps some instructions they might volunteer. Thanks folks.
