Window screen material for Westie campers
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2020 3:50 pm
Hello again, folks.
The window screens and the rear snap-on screen for my '71 Westie are showing their 49 years, and I'd like to replace them. I've done this sort of thing for screen doors in the past, and I know the drill.
But the problem is finding the screen material and, if possible, the rubber retainer stripping. I used to get that stuff at my local hardware store, but that has sadly closed down (not from COVID -- this was years ago). So I'm shopping around.
None of the main sources ... Bus Depot, Wolfsburg West, GoWestie ... have just the material, only the finished screens for Vanagons and finished rear hatch screens for mickle bucks. All I need is the raw fabric, preferably plastic rather than metal. Has anybody sourced this stuff out and, if so, could you steer me in the right direction?
