Try some DIY screens

Hi Jen

I made my own for my camper in NZ (they have only recently come on the market there).

Basicaly, they were from silver coated flooring foam underlay (as used for click-together laminate wood floors), a layer of polyester upholstery flock, and a lining of cheap curtain material - all held together with spray-on contact glue.

For the front window I had 4 bits of 4 mm kite-stick sandwiched vertically between the layers to hold it up - it sits on the dash and the sun-visors hold it at the top.
For the side windows I sandwiched a small magnet in each corner to stick to the door frame.

I sealed the edges by folding over some 50 mm silver duct-tape, however, after a years use I had to re-do this and stitch it through with a sewing machine as the sticky on the tape had got baked dry by the sun.

They cost me about one tenth of what I paid for screens for my van here.

I suggest making them about an inch oversized all round. Wear a mask when spraying the glue! Let me know if you want more info.

cheers

Hi Randonneur

Hello Herbenny,

If your van has the elephant ear lorry type mirrors fitted then my screens should fit, ( see my avatar picture ).

Jen wanted internal screens and mine are external ones, ( she loves a bit of internal you know :scared: ).

I don't think Jen wants them, so as it stands they are still for sale, although I would think internal screens for a Talbot Express / Fiat Ducato Mk1 / Citroen C25 are pretty much like rocking horse poo to get hold of these days.

I'm looking for £50 plus postage for mine so PM me if you are still interested.

Thanks, Dave, ( Randonneur ).
