I have a Fiat Ducato van conversion, when I put the silver screen on and it rains I get water ingress over the top of the doors. The problem is, the silver screen goes between the door and the rubber seal which allows the water to pass. Has anyone else had this problem and been able to overcome it. Any ideas would be welcome.

We had the same problem as you but we were using a Milenco thermal insulation screen with its big plastic flaps that needed to be fitted between the top and the sides of door and the rubber door seal.
We found that if the flaps were not correctly inserted straight then water ingress would occur in heavy rain.
We still use the screen but I no longer use the top flaps.

I had this problem when I changed my 2010 van for a 2016 model. The Remis blinds are different and appear to be wider at the top of the door. Adjusting the Velcro on the triangular section didn't fix it so I made the cut out section in the corner larger by cutting away some of the material. This allows the screen to sit over the door without holding the rubber seal off the door, which is the issue. My screens are Taylormade bought in 2010.

Thanks for the the replies. As I said in an earlier post that I was going to undo the flap that goes over the door and use a button magnet to hold it to the van side, I have done that today and with all the rain that we have had the interior of the van is dry - sorted.
