    Default DIY: Rear Window Screen

    Basically, I prefer the windows down vs. A/C. One thing I can't stand is debris flying in from the rear window.
    Unfortunately, the parking lot at work is full of trees and I can't avoid the falling leaves.

    Problem solved with this DIY.
    It's easy and inexpensive.
    Products were purchased from Lowe's or any hardware store.

    Items needed:

    Screen (black or charcoal)
    Screen frame
    Screen frame corners (available in black)
    Screen spline
    Velcro (optional)



    Tools needed:

    Screen tool
    Hacksaw
    Scissors
    Measuring tape
    Blade





    Step 1:

    Cut the screen frame in four pieces
    (2) measuring 12"
    (2) measuring 28.5"

    Step 2:

    Attach the screen frame corners



    Step 3:

    Attach the screen to the frame

    Step 4:

    Paint the frame flat black to match interior.


    End Result (before paint)
    *Camera flash caused the screen to look gray... it's really black





    End Result (after paint)

    Screen and window



    Screen and window (halfway)



    From outside




    The measurements are precise so that you don't need to use Velcro. It's pretty snug.

    I placed the screen inside the cabin to protect it from the elements.

    Also, I've been known to forget to roll up the rear window. With the screen present, it doesn't look so obvious that the window is down.


    Happy Modding!

    The supplies are very cheap. (probably $20 total from what I remember)
    What you can do is go to a screen repair shop and ask for scrap pieces (screen, frame, spline)
    I'm sure they have plenty hanging around.
