RE: Screens First ask the list then check eBay and Samba and you should be able to find an issue rear bug screen for the rear hatch. The snaps should already be there but as you noted no snaps across the bottom. But when I've used mine it gave a pretty tight seal at the bottom without the snaps. I just spent a week parked in my rig and dealt with a moderate amount of bugs. What I've found works best for me is rather than trying to keep the bugs from getting in I make it easy for them to get out. I open the rear hatch, slider, and most important, remove the screen from the skylight opening. There is a steady stream of bugs flying through but they have an escape route and don't stay. Needless to say I'm using bug spray on me, first in the morning and again in the late afternoon. I doubt that this approach will work if in an area that has a big population of flying/biting things and it doesn't work at night if you close up. But I still leave the screen off the skylight at night to allow anything caught inside to escape. YMMV
