Window screens for sleeping in 100

[Topmounter]

Add a little fold-out awning to protect against the rain and you'd have something.

Just stuff a cotton in where the gaps are?

Really, I've camped out good numbers of times in my truck and I've not had problems with mosquitos. Granted, I live out in MD, where it is not too big of a problem. Now if I camp out in Minn, maybe I will.

Old thread here, but I just tried this. It seems to be pretty effective, however the roll-up magnets don't seal perfectly at the bottom as there is plastic trim. So even if you extend down to the door metal, there is a gap.

This may be the simplest solution, and I should have considered before buying the magnets and gluing. I am trying to think of any pitfalls to this solution, but can't?

I just picked up a pair of the screens at WalMart on clearance for $1.00 made by "Who-Rae Air Shade". I'm sure there are more out there.


Here's one on eBay: New in Package/Mulit-Fit Side Window Air Shade/Who-Rae - eBay (item 300415324175 end time Apr-11-10 07:55:26 PDT)

Received these in the mail over the weekend - much better than the jury rigged magnetic strip screens I made. While they don't seal perfectly at the bottom, it's good enough.

I have these on my BMW. I had to buy them from the UK though. I believe they once made them for the 100 series.

The shade/bug screen can be left on all the time as long as you don't roll the window more than halfway down while driving. I don't think they'll keep 'no-see-ums' out but they'll work for most mosquitos. Not cheap but a bit nicer and also keep add some privacy and UV protection.
