I recently repaired my screens with "Goop". Works fine so far. I found that the Goop smelled funny for a while, so I'd let the repaired screens "off gas" for a while before using. One alternative to using those screens is to make a screen with magnets and screen material. They would go over drive/passenger front windows IIRC. Cheers, Neil.
