When the rattling of the plastic screen frame started driving me nuts I folded up and inserted a small piece (1"X1") of felt between the frame and window.  Stopped the rattling and squealing both.

Oh yeah... thanks for jogging my memory.  I *DID* do
something with that knowledge - exactly what you
proposed below.

No good, the plastic just bows again.  It worked for
about a week, i think, before it was doing exactly the
same thing.  I was thinking of getting a little piece
of felt trim to clip over that edge.  The idea being
let it rub, just don't let it squeal.
