replace torn window screens?
Is is possible to replace just the screen material that is torn and clogged with grease and cat hair? Is the screen frame somehow supposed to pop loose from the window frame? I can't quite figure this out from just looking and hate to cause damage. Thank you for any suggestions.

You should be able to replace it with the usual fiberglass screen. You can take the screens to your local hardware store and have them replace it or you can buy the screen and screen repair kit and do it yourself. You will probably get a better job done at the hardware store without the expense and hassle of doing it yourself. Getting the screens out of the window frames may require some investigation as to how it they are held in place. Our 2310H has little metal clips that hold the frames in and you have to press them down and push in on the screen from the outside. Your windows may be different.

The torn screening I took out of mine was just friction-fit into place with some plastic piping (not sure if that makes sense). In my case, it is a matter of cutting the new screen to the right size and hoping the however-old thin, cylindrical strip still has the life to keep it in place. But that may just be my camper. I still haven't figured out it exactly what I've got. A cousin to the Hi-Lo, or something.

As Jack said, the spline comes in several sizes and shapes. Don't throw your spline away in case it is an odd size, it can be reused unless it deteriorated too much. |
I recently replaced the screen on the door and that was not too difficult. My question is about how to remove the screen frame from window.
