I know the Westies have rear bug screens, but the snap idea seems to leave some gaps. Larry Johnson told me of an idea for making a bug screen that uses elastic to go around the edge of the opening when the hatch is up...kinda like a shower cap. Anyone ever make something like this? I was thinking of getting my sister to do this since she has heavy- duty sewing equipment for horse blankets and the like. It seems to be a simple design...no-see-um screening framed by some material that has the elastic sewed in. -Karl
