  I cut the fiberglass screen to fit over the top and both sides of the
window.  If you fold the corners like you are making a bed they can be held
with a safety pin and pinned against the van when you close the door.  Once
inside cut off the extra.  You only need magnetic tape for the bottom of the
screen.  They hold in any weather.

  PS I also have tiny window awnings the PO left in the van.  These little
wonders fit snugly inside the window frame when the side screened windows
are open.  They are made of cloth sewn around a coat hanger.  The hanger has
to "L" shaped ends  and the whole frame is one piece of wire. The top is
slightly wider than the opening of the window and the cloth is sewn tightly
around the wire.  If anyone is interested I can attach a picture.
