Replacing screens in Camper frames.

[Dabbler-HILO]

Has anyone had to replace their screens. Screen placement is a simple enough job to do once the semi-permanently fixed screen frame is out of the window's main frame.

Noted: there are (2) rubber wedges located at the top of the screen frame, and (2) located at the bottom. To a degree it is almost possible to remove each wedge by prying the screen frame down out of the track, but I do not want to pry too far, to prevent damage the screen frame.

Will loosening the top of the window main frame help some, by allowing it to flex upward while prying down on the screen frame. Or....

Is there another simpler way to remove the screen frame, short of removing the whole window frame from the camper wall?

Is is possible to replace just the screen material that is torn, and clogged with grease and cat hair? Is the screen frame somehow supposed to pop loose? I can't quite figure this out from just looking and hate to cause damage to the frame or the window. Thank you for any suggestions.

Dabbler - did you ever figure out how to get the screen frame out? I played with the tabs at the bottom only to break 2 of them and then gave up. Thanks
