"Anyone know where the male snaps should be mounted on the van to clip the
screen to?"

I just held mine up over the opening to see where I wanted it to "hang" so
it rested on the floor some and covered the sides of the opening
sufficiently, marked the center top, drilled it, put the snap in, hung the
screen from that one and kept moving across the top in alternating rotation,
then down the sides. I drilled into steel on all snaps so it fits real nice
and is great at keeping circulation up and bugs down.

That one, and the hatch screen really helps keep the van from "collecting"
hot air. Great circulation at night when it's warm too.

Vanners.

I bought a screen for the door of my 85 westy. It has sixteen snaps. 14 on
one side, two on the other side at the bottom of one side of the screen.

Anyone know where the male snaps should be mounted on the van to clip the
screen to?

TIA
