Hello. We are in the process of installing storage and a bed platform in the bed of our F250 (that has a Leer cap) for shorter camping trips. We want to fabricate removable bug screens so that we can keep the sliding side windows open as well as the back window flipped up and the tailgate down (for better air circulation). I've ordered noseeum mesh fabric but I'm still undecided as to the design. Making screens that go over the side windows doesn't seem that complicated. I'm basically thinking about hemming the mesh into a rectangle that is larger than the window itself and using velcro to affix the screen to the cap. My only concern is whether or not the sticky-type velcro will stay stuck to the fiberglass cap. Perhaps we should go with just the sew-on type of velcro and use some adhesive to glue the velcro to the fiberglass?
More complicated is designing a screen for the back. We're open to ideas. Thanks!
