On our travels, we had pesky bugs finding their way into the trailer, 14DB through the openings around the windows. We tried a variety of methods, weather stripping, moulding but it didn't seem to stick very well in the heat. Any suggestions would be appreciated.!!
I wonder if recaulking around the windows could solve this problem?
We were having problems with the bugs coming through our screen door. There was a gap formed because there was too much plastic on the part that slides. We fixed that, but we haven't been out since. I haven't noticed bugs coming in through the windows.
[p]My issue was also the screen door, the problem was the piece of plastic that is glued into the slider part, That piece never moves but being it is plastic and thin it gives everytime the sliding part is moved back and forth.
I found some flat sheet metal at Home Depot, about the size I needed for the thickness but I did need to trim just a little bit of with a pair of sheet metal shears.
I took out the stock thin Plastic piece, apply a hair drier heat to the glued sections, pull on it and it comes right out. Remove the excess glue in the channels, using the plastic piece you took out as a template, cut out the section of the metal to the exact size with sheet metal shears. I painted both sides of the Metal with Flat Black. 1st slide it in the flat metal to be sure it fits tight, slide back out and apply some glue, I used worked gloves to slide it in as the metal edge is sharp on your hands. I then installed some Black Edge trim to that end of the metal, now it isn't sharp.
Now when I slide the screen door opener the other section does not give at all, no Bugs enter now in-between the slider section and the new piece of the sheet metal.
Before I did this simply Mod, I had a gap of 1.5" wide where the plastic sliding door section and the plastic section, now there is No Gap and No Bugs getting inside the Trailer. I tried it out just Last week, it worked perfect.
