Pop-up Window Screen Repair

My Jayco has about an inch and a half long horizontal tear right where the screen bends for storage.

Is there a better fix than duct tape?

  • Stick on both sides of the screen. Less visibility but more durable
  • thanks. I just ordered the stick on patches online. They should arrive in about a week. They should be much better than duct tape.
  • Try a window screen repair kit from a hardware store. Just make sure you get the fabric and not metal mesh.
  • Is the screen you're talking about the lower hardside window or upper flexible pop-up window?

    I did an Amazon search and there are flexible fiberglass screen tape patches available. It was only $2 for a 4"x6" patch. Had mixed reviews but overall 4 stars from 40 reviews.
