My T3 came with a Velcro fitted rear screen. You would be welcome to have a look or even a loan if going by Canning St and my vehicle is there.
I fairly recently replaced the fibreglass flywire in a large sliding door in my house and had dreadful trouble getting something wide enough despite Cyclone making the larger size needed. I contacted them for help and was told that I would have to buy a roll as there wasn't sufficient demand for the smaller size to be kept by Bunnings etc in Victoria! (No flies on us down here)Eventually found a screen manufacturer who was willing to sell the length required from his roll. May be able to find his name if required.(Think he drove a 2WD T3)
Do I also remember someone at the original Shallow Crossing (Ken??) showing off their side door screening which had been slightly modified from an off the shelf product at someone like Spotlight or Lincraft. Ask them to give you a net price. Have also seen magnetic bars holding plastic strips being used on vans and campervans similar to those that used to grace some back doors. They may be more childproof!
For front doors its quite easy to open a window ,stretch cloth flywire over the opening and just slam the door shut on it although I did see in England some one with a much neater 2 bars of aluminium with 2 hinged flat bars riveted together on the opposite sides of the square so that when snapped fully open the whole screen sat tautly in the window.
There -bet you wished you hadn't asked.
Cheers
Roger

Hi All,
On the subject of flyscreens;
-I have these for the front doors, excellent - http://www.skreenz.com/
-I have 4x custom made sliding windows with flyscreens for my van, forget the name but by a mob who mostly made them for earth moving equipment. These windows alone, but combined with really good window tint, and now finally curtains, allow for a good comfy sleep in in the van without cooking, might just have to get up and open all the windows in the morning about 8am depending on the day.
-For the sliding door I would really like to do something like this www.bugmesh.com.au Tempted to buy these and see if I can apply this to the sliding door somehow, maybe with strip magnets. Just cut down on the amount of times the sliding door gets opened / closed / opened / closed.
Happy van ventilation! Sam
