For Plastic screens: just push them out, start at one
corner. Easy work if rubber sealing and plastic are
not glued together.

Why don't change them? A new screen (non pop-out,
non sliding) will cost only DM 100.- +/- including
new rubber sealing. Shipping just inexpensive
during the 'fender lips group purchase'.
