I'll even throw in the cardboard template.

I'll take it, if both the metal and cardboard template are still available.

Also, would you mind if I called you to ask a few questions about the molding/install? If that's OK, please PM me with contact info.

Thanks, Chris

If you use the soft stuff, you can. Just don't attach the middle one at the top, and it will bend out of the way to use the key, but bend right back up.
I only say this because 3 or 4 of them have come loose on mine, but you can't tell they are missing unless you push on them.

Step 1:
I made a cardboard template.

The template took some fitting.

Step 2:
I cut the screen to match the template:
Now, I would happily pay a few bucks for a download (to scale) or snail mailed copy of the template for that grill. That to me seems the hardest part of this entire mod.
