I think the Bus Depot screen adn the one from GoWesty are identical in design. At least the photos look the same. Mine from GoWesty came with detailed instructions, and it had the screws included, stainless like the snaps. But they were not self tapping, I had to drill to install the snaps. I hope you get a tighter fit than I did, however. Bugs can get in in places on mine. But it is way better than just leaving the door open, no screen.
