Genius! 🌟 I have been trying to invent a solution for weeks 😂 Mine's a 1985 Lark. I have TH-cam'd my way through all the re-cabling, now it's weather & mozzie proofing. Thank you so much for sharing 💖
Wow , my wife said this morning about replacing old screens on poptop , thought It was going to be a big job , 15 minutes and I had the first screen replaced , thanks so much for posting this , had only bought a gas soldering iron last week , already paid for it self 😊
This is a perfect DIY instructional video. Thanks heaps for uploading, this is the first video I found to do exactly this task on an old camper. Thanks heaps
Nice hack. I never considered using a soldering iron. I bet you could also follow up with a coating of some sort of vinyl adhesive over it to help bind it together.
Hi, couple of questions. Were you worried that putting pins through the canvas would cause water proofing issues? Also I tried melting 2 small pieces of fly screens together as practice. It seems semi strong but did rip apart if I pulled on it. Did yours seem strong enough when done?

What material screen do I need because all I see are fiberglass
Seriously, the best DIY video on the Web. Thank you sincerely.
Please publish more great DIY.
Did this today, several small patches as repairs rather than entirely new screens. It worked too!

So glad you've shared this and I've found. I have mouse damage to a while section so will give this a try.
Omg this is awesome. I'm trying this on my camper trailer screen

Great job and Great idea thank you so much
Thank you. This was very useful info.
Seems like it works for some and not others, wondering if hot glue might work?
Do youneed any particular kind of soldering iron? Or temperature?
I did this 5 years ago and it's held well, except one spot when and excited 3 year tackled their sister into it.

Hi Melissa is this Plastic or Fibre glass screen?
What types of flyscreen does this work with? I brought a roll of the fibreglass stuff.
I suppose you could "tack" it up this way and then once it is set good in place super glue it on the inside edge.
I tried it as well and it did not hold.
Thanks for letting us know. I had planned to do this. What a shame as it seems time intensive. Did you find a better approach?
