any decent magnetic window screens for the 5th gen

i like to sleep in the back with the windows open but bugs! EEEEK! are there some minimalistic screens that can just magnetically stick on the door frame?

 

There are a number of nets that stretch over the window frame. I use some from Luno, but there are cheaper ones on Amazon. I also have a cheap magnetic sunroof screen from Amazon that works pretty well.

 

I used mesh from old camping tent and those magnets -

The price is up there but I'll get some of these at some point: https://strawfoothandmade.com/products/toyota-4runner-5th-gen-full-kit-window-covers

 

holy sheeeet! i just want something to keep out bugs! yikes. those look nice but wowzers on the price.

 

nice. did you put some sort of structural rigidity on the outside of the cut mesh?

Luno has some nice ones.
Pricey but good quality and simple.
The side door ones would be easy to find a cheaper solution for, but the back window screen from them is quite nice.

I second the cheap ones from Amazon. I got a pair for less than 20 bucks that work great and have lasted 3 seasons and counting. I also have the sunroof screen.

I've also seen a magnetic one for the rear window, it was around $70 or so.

No need to spend any more than that for screens.

 

As @Trail Runnah said, try a “rear side window shade”. It’s like a big stretchy sock that fits over the rear door. You can still operate the window for ventilation. It works well, just be sure to order the correct size. Here’s one example:

your magnet idea is great. i got some window screen, cut it to fit, folded some 2" gorilla tape over edges and it works sweet!

 

did you try them on the front doors of a 4runner? the mirror seems to be sort of in the way but i ordered some to try. does it keep no see um's out?

 

those are nice but i need something for air flow yet keeps bugs out. those look more like black out covers.

 

pretty nice. my rear window rolls down, might just find something to cover window area

 

did you only do your rear passenger doors? do they keep no see um's out? they look great for the price.

 

These sleeve-like screens only work on the rear doors. They are elastic on the bottom so they are nice and snug on the square rear door frame. The front doors are sloped toward the top so they would tend to slide up and not really work.

 

i came across these a bit ago:
