Rapido Fly Screen replacement?

[TonyEmm]

We have a 7095DF, 2009 model. It has a full internal sliding fly screen inside the habitation door. Sadly, our dog damaged it last time out! . Any ideas if it’s easily replaceable and if so, where can I source the parts please?

It can be a pig of a job, you need strong nimble fingers and good eyesight. Most people abandon the idea of refurbishing after attempting it

Are you saying the actual flyscreen mesh material is torn ?

If so, you're probably looking at buying a new flyscreen complete.

The existing flyscreen can be removed by undoing screws located in the bottom runner (hidden from view by the brush either side of the gap). The flyscreen is then raised by 10 to 15mm until it detaches inwards from the mushroom shaped studs in the vertical outer frame. It's possible you may also need to remove the internal plastic entrance step to remove the flyscreen - I did !!!

I’ve got arthritic fingers, wear glasses for reading and occasionally driving, so maybe this is a job I pay someone else to do?

I’m afraid it is... only slightly but VERY annoying! The dog did get his arse slapped but thanks for the info!

Suggest you spray both sides of the screen with hottish water over the affected area. Close the screen and leave for a couple of days. You could use a hairdryer to quicken the drying process. The pleats should reform and look as good as new, well, at least better !!! The horizontal coords don't appear to be broken.
