I attached velcro to a piece of screen and made one. Roll it up
and put away. Think I sewed it on. Put the other side of velcro
around opening.

Try out Tractor Supply or any Hardware store. They should have the replacement knobs you are looking for. I had one rattle loose I could not find and that is where I got my replacement one at.

Menards. With the odd screws, springs, roll pins and what nots in the drawers.

Or just buy the plastic cap and a cap screw. Menards has them too.

I have made screens for my garage windows, you can get the plastic corners and molding that is made to hold screen at the hardware store and make a nice one.


I just threw some away the other day,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

It is probably under your V berth sleep pad or check the couch/seat pads. I found mine when I removed the v-berth sleep pad. There is also a nice storage space with a quick access cover under that sleep pad if you did not already know. When I put mine back on I used some teflon tape on the threads ro prevent it from rattling loose and off again. LockTite tape would work too.
