Thanks, Chuck.
My fuzzies are most definitely missing, which explains how the bugs end up inside the trailer even though we keep the screen door closed.
Cool pictures-thanks.
Where do you buy this stuff? I don't see at for sale at Inland RV. How big of a job is it to replace? Is it as simple as unscrewing the whole screen assembly and regluing the new stuff on?

Basically yes,make sure all the old glue is cleaned off and reapply the new.And yes Andy sell it,But make sure you get to talk to him....
No one has mentioned yet that Chucks position guides are broken too.

sharp eyes you have!
and 4 years later....they're still broken. its ok, though. they work fine. the hook part of the plastic is still firm enough to hold the window lifter arms.
wacnstac: yes, essentially, you just remove the old, clean up the old glue, and glue on some new ones. kind of a "pita", and a little time consuming, but worth it to keep the 'skeeters at bay. the material comes on a roll, and its all one long strip of fabric stitched together, so it doesn't look "fuzzy" at all. If you look closely, you can see that on one edge of the material, the threads are looped; on the other edge, they're cut. these loops are stitched together lengthwise with 3 threads. once you get the strips of fabric glued in place, you cut the outer thengthwise thread, and "un-thread" it. the outer looped threads then get all "fuzzed out", like a brush head.
I stilll have some of the fuzzy seal left, awaiting deployment on another screen. I can try and get a close up pic tonight, if you like.
I believe Andy carries it; you can also get it at any Airstream dealer. I know I've noticed that very late model trailers use the exact same window-actuating system as my old '73...or at least "very similar". They may still use the same stuff.

You have the right installation answer.
Take the old stuff off, and attach two pieces of the fuzzy seal on each side with a good adhesive (not glue), pull off the extra white thread and your done.
It takes 40 inches per screen, 2 x 20 inches on each side.
Our "sale" list on our web site is exactly that.
We carry over 3200 Airstream repairs parts in stock, far too many to put on a web site.
My slots don't seem anywhere near that long where I would need 2x20" for each side, unless I'm missing something.
You "must" install the fuzzy a little above and below the slots, which takes 2 x 10 inches. Anything less and you will have a problem with the installation.
If your screens do not require 20 inches per side, then they are not Airstream screens.
