The rear doors will get that treatment using the zippered (makes it easy to get to the fridge from the outside) screen part of a salvaged screen tent that ripped back in 2015 in Florida using 15 foot of 1"w bobo velcro I have in stock.

I'm thinking of making a 3/4 'sock' strip to slip over driver's and passenger's door, as there's a plastic sail panel at rear edge of door- Cant use magnets there.

In other words, you'd open the door, then slip the thing over, and close it.
magnets only on the lower 1/4 door area

How do I attack fabric to screen??? Get fabric on, um, eBay? or? (DUMB, DUMB Bachelor)

You can buy fabric at Walmart in the craft section - well most Walmart’s. I’m not sure if fabric glue will attach to the screen or not but it’s cheap and worth a shot. It’s sold by the fabrics.

I got screen material at Menards. It was in the door and window section. It is fiberglass. Sewed easily to some fabric on my sewing machine. The machine is nothing special.
I'm not lost. I'm exploring.

Thanks! Glue, eh?
Otherwise fingers'll be sore sewing.
I was going to stop by Menards, good advice.

Great. I’ve used it for a couple of applications and it seems to do what it’s supposed to. Post pics

Surely!

Magnets on lower quarter not installed yet

   

   

Not sure what to do on inside- The default plan is to - Close the door on it.
(I did trim it back some)

Looks like it’s going to work. Great not to be scratching and smacking all night
