I need some ideas to allow me to leave the sunroof open and not get an invasion of pesky flying buzzing things that have a liking for my blood.

Fly screen Louey, like what you get on the inside of a caravan's window. If you can't get one then find an appropriately sized bit of netting and add poppers round the edge.

I shall have a look at what patterns I can get to match the van :wink: - got plenty of velcro, press studs would probably leave gaps, but velcro might get a bit grubby over time - I wonder if magnets would work??

Hey Louey,
Aldi are doing a universal window kit.
I brought one today. There are two fly nets included with the velcro strips for £1.79.
They come in black or white and are big enough for the slide and tailgate............................
Bargain??????????????

Sorry, didnt see your post till today.
I have some of the proper grey netting stuff imported from a classic parts supplier in Germany - probably look better and stronger. Can be cut to size and made up like the ones you see about for side & rear doors which I could show you.
