I’ve seen several designs for car window screens, but when it rains; you need to roll up the window. With these; you can leave your window slightly down and not get wet.
You will need 6 plastic signs. Mine are 8 by 12 inches. Blains, Wal Mart, Menards, etc carry these. Duct tape. Wire, I used 16 ga wire, but a metal coat hanger should work.

Supplies

You’ll also need wire cutters, a knife and a ruler. You will need some magnets to attach to the roof.

Overlap 2 signs about 2 to 2 1/2 inches and duct tape together.

Run a strip of duct tape down each side. Do this on the printed side, this is the side that goes down, the white side will the one your neighbors in the campground will see.

Cut 2 wires to about 9 inches and wrap the ends in duct tape so they don’t poke a hole in the plastic sign when you adjust them. Then place a wire on each side, and cover with duct tape. you want to leave 4 to 5 inches on one end with no wire under it. This is the side you will place on your vehicle roof with magnets.

Secure to your vehicle roof with magnets. You can overlap them slightly to cover the width of your window. You can adjust them however you like. These don’t cover the entire window, but you can leave the window slightly open to still get some air flow. I haven’t had a chance to try these yet, as long as it isn’t too windy, I think this should work. If you’re artistic, go ahead and decorate it. It’s yours!
