Window Screen Removal

I wanted to remove all my screens to clean them and couldn't get them out of the track.

They are mounted on the inside of the windows and slide to open.

I tried lifting them up, thinking there were pressure spring pads on them like a regular house screen but no luck.

Any thoughts?

And the winner of the cake IS........John Wayne!!!!! There is a removable plastic strip on the bottom of the screen guide.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

On our '95 Coachmen, I had to slightly bow a couple of screens to get them out of the bottom track and replace them. The others were tight, but they did clear ok.

On mine there is a plastic runner on he bottom of the screen. leave the screen closed and pull this plastic runner out of the track and then I can remove the screen. Yours may be the same way.

Open the window, slide the screen open, lift screen up and out. Works much easier with window open.

Try pressing up on the bottom of the upper rail and swing the bottom out of the track. It takes strong fingers.

Mine are on the pressure spring pads, as you mentioned. I was very nervous the first time I removed them. A very tight fit, just need to use more pressure. We are in a 2001 HR Imperial. Slow and steady. Good luck!
