WHAT ARE COMMON PROBLEMS WITH BUGWALL?
- Fitment Issues: Sprinter vans come in various models and sizes, so ensuring the bug wall fits correctly around doors, windows, or vents can be challenging. Customization might be necessary to achieve a snug fit without gaps.
- Material Durability: The materials used for bug walls need to withstand constant movement, potential abrasion, and exposure to weather elements. Choosing durable materials suitable for automotive environments is crucial.
- Aesthetic Considerations: Bug walls should ideally blend with the interior of the Sprinter van without obstructing visibility or interfering with other interior components. Finding screens that match the interior design while providing effective insect protection can be a challenge.
- Sealing and Weatherproofing: Proper sealing around the edges of bug screens is crucial to prevent water from seeping into the van. This involves using weatherproof materials and techniques to ensure a tight seal between the bug wall frame and the van's body or window frame.
- Compatibility with Existing Seals: Bug walls should be installed in a way that does not compromise the existing seals or weatherstripping around doors and windows. Ensure that the bug wall installation complements and reinforces the van's existing waterproofing measures.
- Professional Installation: For complex installations or if you're unsure about DIY methods, consider hiring professionals experienced in van conversions or automotive accessories. They can ensure that bug walls are installed correctly with minimal risk of water leakage.
