    Hello all,

    I made templates for the rear and quarter-panel windows. I traced pieces of paper and cut them out, then put the cut-out on plastic where I cut it out to shape. However, to make things easier for anyone else trying to make window screens or shades, I took a picture of the template, traced it in photoshop, and scaled it to size.

    I am making these available via PDF in hopes they can help someone who wants to do a similar project to me. To utilize these, simply open the PDF, download it, and email it to an Office Depot or Staples (or anywhere with a non-standard printer). Print the PDF and cut along the black line. Done. The templates are accurate to within a few MM. I'd suggest cutting just a hair bigger than the line and trim as needed. Super easy.

    For those wondering what the finished product looks like, here is my version. Did it on corrugated plastic. Surrounded the edges with duct tape because the cut on the plastic was kind of sharp. Added pull tabs to remove because the fit is super snug. All of those are optional.

    I know this thread is over a year old at this point, but when I look at the template, I have a question: the 12.5" vertical, is that max height for the tallest section or is that the height roughly where the arrow is? TYIA!

    The 12.5 is the max height for the tallest section! The template isn't perfect, but if you make it a little bigger and trim, it'll be very good. I also had to do a little of jury-rigging to get the perfect fit, but this should be a good start that gets you 95% of the way there with minimal effort.
