Sliding panel in screen door
I searched for an answer but couldn't find what I was looking. I know I've seen some bodies modification to keep those little sliding panels in your screen door from popping out. Does anybody remember...

Funny you mention that!
My new to me TT was missing the panel when I got it.
Amongst my tools and equipment on my truck is a portable aluminum brake. And a roll of coil. and the tools needed for the task.
I took a few critical measurements and laid out the piece of metal, cut it, folded a few hems here and there, a little measuring, a bit of trimming to suit and voila! On really nifty sheet aluminum sliding panel that works far better than the plastic factory one.
I had to partly disassemble the screen door to get the thing in there, but it works like a charm!
Now here is the kicker - I had just bought the TT and was on it's maiden voyage. I was going through the drawers of misc. stuff left behind from the previous owner and found this curious looking square black thing in one of the drawers. I scratched my head, wondering what it was and put it back in the drawer.....
The next day when I was marveling over my handiwork, I suddenly realized what the little black plastic thing was!! After all that work making a new one.
But I came to realize why it resided in a drawer instead of on the screen. It was too small and fell out.
Gee, maybe I should mass produce them and give them away to folks like you!!
Sorry OP, I realize this does not answer your question, but thought you would find it interesting.... maybe.... :B
