Smile Interior sliding screen panels

Just an update to anyone following my screen removal saga.
SUCCESS
Yesterday I was determined to get the screen in question out no matter how may pieces and parts of the 345 I had to remove. Inside the aluminum window frame, top and bottom, are these plastic runners that are screwed to the window frame. I remove the two runners, lifted the screen, pushed out on the screen frame and out it came. It was as simple as that ! ! Didn't have to remove anything else.
Spring is in the air here in NH. We are working on our Airstreams and chomping at the bit to get out there. Hope to see some of you out on the road.

Sounds like an easy one. I'm in the spring clean and overhaul mode myself. Thanks for the tip.

Thank you for this, I know it's an old thread but it is exactly what I needed to know. I am tinting my windows and needed to remove the screens to do it properly plus I have a couple of screens that were coming loose in the corners and I couldn't repair them with the screens in place. Thanks again!

It's amazing how easily the screens go in and out once you remove the slide strips. After doing a few I have discovered they go in and out best if you pull the top strip out first coming out and put in the bottom one first going back in (naturally) The screens all but fall in and out doing it this way, it also seems easiest to remove the top of the screen from the tracks first then the bottom, then install the bottom first and top last when reinstalling. This little piece of information transformed my tint job from what surely would have been a nightmare to a sweet dream come true! The tinting is coming out great and it's nice to finally get to clean the window frames and glass thoroughly like I've been wanting to do since I first got the motorhome.
