The string in our Hartalight insect screen door broke over the summer. Were quoted £307 for a replacement, part only. Thought we'd have go at fixing it ourselves. Managed to get the frame out of the van and got it home.
Then laying it on the floor, we managed to get at the string and also understood how it worked. Replaced the string and reassembled the whole thing. It worked and we felt well pleased with having saved ourselves at least £400.
Then we took it back to the van only to find that we just can't get the frame back in place. The problem is waiting for the habitation door lock. This enters the van from outside and enters through the corner of the door. Now when we try and get the frame to lie flat on the bottom of the door, the bundle of wires prevents this. We spent a couple of hours trying to get the frame in with the wires on the ride, but to no avail. I've attached a photo of the offending wires whilst the screen door was still in place.
Anyone able to suggest how we jump this final damned hurdle?
