Use fish tank foam..
It lasts much longer than the LR foam!

Mine has completely gone, again. PITA. I'm going to get some perforated aluminium or similar.

Data/doo did the mesh. Looks good
Yep, he sent me the link for the stuff he used.

I replaced mine with the original material, however I wrapped it in fly screen first. Looks good and lasts well.

Dopey May have done a walk through, pretty sure he started using the fish tank foam?

He did indeed.
Use the foam sandwiched between decent black nylon mesh (eg insect screen) for doors. I'm two years in on mine, and still in good condition, whereas the LR foam lasted about 3 months.
Only other tip, loosen but leave in the top screw on the A pillar seal, the other side can remain in place. The bottom of the seal needs to move to remove the windscreen finisher strip, but the top doesnt. Replace all screws with s.s. and put a blob of rtv on each screw
