Joe, seen here, http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=975402 , has a commercial sewing machine and he is able to sew a long magnet at the bottom which makes for a real tight fit of the screen in doorway.

Please tell me more about these magnets, as fit at the bottom seems to be a problem.  I have seen a photo of a screen that looks to be much better than the ones most of us have with their floppy bottoms, and that has a zipper that opens the screen across the top and bottom as well as vertically, rather than just vertically down the middle, but when I tried to find out its origin and so on, the owner of the vehicle had no idea, it came with his van and he thought it was the norm.  It's the only one I have ever seen like that.  All the others I have seen fit poorly, like mine, but then you guys have seen far more vanagons than I have
