I got the extra 4 side screens from someone on the forum who was selling them. Club shop does all 4 for £122 or you can just get the 3 you need for £95. While they are expensive to buy, they are well worth getting.

I love the review for the T4 screen covers by "Dave" :-)

Hi, bought these for a Mazda Bongo (2.5TD, 4x4, Auto, Dual Aircon, Pop-Top, Electric Blinds, Soft-close Door - all for under £7K) "

Translated - better value than a T4 suckers :-)

Trying to be nosey... I have found the external ones on the justkamping website but I want to know if they are reversible??

I wrote this on another a while ago but didn't get any feedback so decided to try again. We need to new screens, we have more suckers in the cubby hole in the bongo than we do on the screens but my concern is going to festivals, they might get stolen. Does anyone know if they can be put on inside the van with the over the door bits hooked on to the outside?? Or would anyone be willing to test it out for me??
Any advice would be great.

We aren't sure if it is worth the risk of trying the new screen or just stick with what we know.

We stock all the screens. All the side windows. Internal only I'm afraid, but VERY thick for all year camping. And if they don't stick to your windows, we will offer a full refund! (Unless you have tinted film on your windows in which case they won't stick at all).

I bought a set of screens from the club shop seven years ago and they have never fallen off AND the back window is tinted.... :D

Ours have been fine 7 years as well, no problems at all with the suckers. just make sure you don't attach to the rear of the Tax disk by mistake!
