Hi Harold, I realize this comes awhile after your posting, but I just got around to reading it. I posted about this topic awhile ago, but apparently you missed it. Strip the old screen out and get some fiberglass netting from a hardwar e store. Cut the screen to fit and glue it in with a hot glue gun. You can get a cheapy one for ~$10. Get crafts glue that will allow you to move the screen while the glue sets up. Glue one side, let it setup, tack the other side at 4 or 5 spots. Then do the same to the other two sides. If it's not taut enough pull up the tack spots and redo them. Once you're happy with it, lay down a nice bead all the way around, trim left over screening and reinstall. Mine have been through a Colorado winter with no ill effects, but YMMV. Happy trails, Jack
