We have a Weinsberg which has a flyscreen door that clips onto the inside of the frame of the hab door. When the flyscreen was closed a gust of wind blew the hab door shut and pushed the fly screen away from the hab door frame, in the top corner. It appears to be held on by a plastic clip, which may be broken or may just need clipping back in - but I cannot see how to get it clipped back in

Is anyone familiar with this fitting? Does it look broken or can it be clipped back in? If it broken any ideas of a supplier?

This is the back of the flyscreen that the clips attach into

This is the plastic clip that slides up and down a slot in the hab door frame and appears to have two different shaped clip parts to it, that should fit into the back of the flyscreen frame

Sorry about the quality of the photos, but I have to pull the flyscreen away to get the phone camera inside

TIA
 
Sorry I cannot help but expect the designers must have anticipated the door blowing to. my own is different to yours and too often the outer door has accidentally slammed to while the screen was across without problems.
 
I think that it depends on the inside shape of the hab door. On our old van the door used to just push the concertina flyscreen material in, and it just needed straightening. On this van the hab door fills the whole space that the fly screen covers. The fly screen was only open a few inches, so when the hab door tries to close it pushes on the flyscreen frame and pushes it inwards, and breaks/forces the plastic clip
 
Many thanks to Paul (Two on Tour) for spending some time explaining to me how the Flyscreen is removed and replaced, and also providing a great source for the clips
