    I bought the foldable shade screen from a link on this forum that he sells. When not expanded, the half almost covers the passenger window. It folds neatly into a circle for storage behind my seat. I need a screened version like that that likewise folds for storage. They all look rather involved to set up or store. The ones on the net say nothing about how or if they even fold for easy setup and storage. Flexible and collapsible metal wire frame with screening. Is there even such a thing?

    I have seen some bug screens that basically form a pocket that slides over the door then you just close it on the screen. Not sure how well they work but they seem compact.

    Around $26,000 worth of unleaded in the fuel tank.
    Maybe just cut a hole in that reflective material and glue a patch of screen on there.

    Might try that with a cheapo shade, don’t wanna use the good one bought from link here. The problem with dropping down screen on the outside and then closing the door is that the mirror frame is right there preventing using magnets at that spot.
