Mike, try a house window and door manufacturer for these weatherstrips. I guess there are no mosquitoes in Germany because the screens don't come with any kind of weatherstripping. In the area of Canada where I live, mosquitoes are in abundance (practically the provincial bird!) during the summer so I needed to install a length of weatherstrip vertically on each screen to prevent the critters from getting into my Westfalia. I found exactly the same weatherstripping which is on the windows. It's actually weatherstripping for sliding glass patio doors. It works perfectly! P.S. I also had to plug up gaps surrounding the screening in the roof skylight to keep the little blood thirsty critters out as well. Roy O. 1987 Westfalia [text/html]
