Default Window screens

I'd like to use the extra space in my unlimited to sleep while camping but sleeping in a vehicle with its windows up sucks as much as the mosquitos do. So I'm looking for a way to put screens over the two back windows to help sleep more comfortably. If no one knows of a commercial solution I have an idea to use magnetic strips to sandwich screen material and stick it over the windows. This will also allows the ability to roll up windows in case of foul weather. Here's a super quick mock up drawing (not my jeep).

Years ago I think there was someone who had taken an old set of plastic windows and replaced the plastic with screen door material. I hadn't seen anyone do it to the full doors yet though.

With that being said, you're probably on the best track with using magnets around the door frame so it's nothing permanent but it'll keep the mosquitoes at bay.

Got a set of the Klondike after I check the cost of my idea and it was cheaper. Trying them out this coming weekend.

So I forgot to get good pictures of them but they preformed exactly as advertised. They were little large but if you fold over like they show on the instructional video they seal great.
