Hi Jack,

        Sadly, one caution this  replacement assumes the zipper is intact but that the screen itself has failed, or is damaged.  It glues to the inside edge of the old zipper. Or, email him for suggestions he is very helpful and responsive. 

Still too bad your zipper is not intact or it would have been a relatively easy fix and a very appealing result.

        I would be very tempted in your situation to use the strong fabric glue he provides and attach velcro to the screen and the existing canvas.
