Thanks Lee,
While the chain link or chicken wire options exist(homage to Gilly and Chris), I like your idea better! Seriously, when I pulled the spline out of the track, it's like none I've ever seen...round top with grooves to catch the sides of the mounting track surrounding the screen. The screen itself is bonded to the spline. (Mercedes 'Art of Engineering', no doubt!)
If I understand what you wrote correctly, even with this setup, the replacing of the screen is no more complicated than doing a window at home, and you had no problem getting the spline to 'catch' in the track? Thanks!
