Ford Econoline Side Door Window Screens (2 Pcs.) 258

Just a little on the pricey side other than that it was installed quickly and it does the job for my needs for security and glass breakage works well.

Good products, just did my 2004 E-350, side windows and the rear windows using the same manufacturer's kit for the rear windows. The windows that don't open were a snap, the product is cut and drilled to fit the existing window mounting bolts with no trouble.The larger of my side windows opens, and there was a bit of work to install that one. I'm no precision machine shop tech, and so anyone with a drill, tin snips, and a bit of patience should be able to pull it off.My only complaint is that the manufacturer could've scored knock-outs for the modifications needed for windows that open... Here's a couple of photos of mine along with my advice:1) Position the screen over the window interior, aligning the 4 holes with the 4 side bolts to be sure that you have the screen orientated properly. (The opening mechanism will be in the way and make it somewhat difficult, you just want to be sure that you have it the way it will go in before altering the screen...)2) Mark the area to cut for the opening mechanism, and cut it out with a pair of tin snips or a grinder. (i just used tin snips/see photo).3) With the area allowing the clasp to open and close removed, position the screen against the window, aligning the 4 holes in the screen with the 4 side bolts. Mark where to drill for the additional bolts (Mine has 3 along the top and 2 along the bottom.) I just used a rod and eye-balled it, but a more proper way would be to trace edges of the screen with a pencil around the window so that you can measure from the edges to the bolts, plotting your drill holes on the screen. My poor workmanship resulted in one hole being an 1/8 inch off, which i had to snip into slightly to correct.4) Drill holes for the additional bolts. I went 3/8" drill bit to give as much 'wiggle room' without needing to add washers. (It may be difficult to get the factory nuts started with a washer.) The bottom two bolts were so close to the bottom edge of the screen, that I chose to notch them with snips rather than drill holes. The top three could have been notched too, but drilled holes will look better.5) Attach the screen to the window using the factory nuts. There isn't much play in the length of the bolts, and so the screen must be tight against the window in order to start those nuts. Using the head of a flat screwdriver and a hammer, carefully tamp the metal of the screen around the hole tightly against the window as needed in order to start the nut.

UPDATE: We received our window screens for our 2004 Ford Econoline today. Someone changed something-these were installed in less than 5 minutes, and the fit was a good 90% or better. I’m in shock! We still don’t have the right door window screen on our 2001 Ford Econoline from last year. We need a belt sander to get it to fit, and we haven’t bought one yet. Maybe American Truck Equipment will replace that one with one of these new ones? 🤞Old Review: It sure would be nice if these actually fit. But no, hours upon hours of custom cutting/grinding/sanding to make these fit.Excellent grill, horrible fit.Tip for the manufacturer: the box in each corner should be solid-not cut out. That and someone who cares about what they do should re-measure/scan these so they actually fit on Ford Econoline vans.

Easy to install

Product was decent however it did not fit the 2013 Econoline back window. Returned product.

Great build quality, I'm very happy I purchased this pair vs the cheep wire screens...Worth the money!.. I bought the rear and side door kit, easy install and shipped to me in 4days!**The only thing I would recommend is putting foam stripping around the outside edges to make it noise free.

Went on like a glove on our new painting van. They screw in easy and are quality.

Fit perfectly.
