If you put your screens on the inside, you can use velcro.  You can sew the
hook directly on the screen and then get the adhesive backed loop for
inside.

The craft magnets won't stick well enough unless they make direct contact
with the metal surface.

Velco brand has some automotive grade stuff you can get at your local flaps.

Standard velcro will work good on the metal, but you need the automotive
stuff for any plastic trim.

Oh BTW, we sell cab screen kits that use velcro and snaps. They are listed
on our website under Vanagon Parts & Accessories > Vanagon Camping
Accessories.
