On the campers the popper things are on from the factory I think and some are on the camper panels that take the curtain over the sliding door. Yous doesnt have this I dont think but that is why the net is a funny shape in the top corners to get round it. You could always pop round mine to take a look first and even test fit yours to my van to see if its right.

Michelle made our nets but we did follow some links and pics we found on 'The Samba' forum (can't find them now) so the general fitting and press stud positions are fairly close to original.
Note* even when using original 'Westy' nets' the press studs and their locations aren't that neat and you will find the net having to be wrapped around pillars etc.
Used them for the first time on our 3 1/2 week euro trip...never took them off, they were brilliant! very effective at keeping the flys and Mozi's at bay.

thanks for the pics, i can see how they fit now. Looks like the full westy is a bit different over the slider compared to mine

I have been hanging out for a new set. I have tried some mint original ones that were never used, always stored in the wardrobe etc... and from what I can tell if they were never used and mint they shrink over the 20 years or so and if they were used loads they are shagged.

rub some light oil on the leatherette part and the oil will soften them allowing the leatherette to stretch slightly then pop in position on a warm day and they should return to their former shape
