Our 84 Polphin has sliding windows. A screen needs replacment, but I can't figure out how to remove the frame. I expected to be able to pick it up and it could kick out at the bottom. This does not seem to work. What is the trick?

I recently removed several screens for cleaning and found that two were difficult to remove. By guess and by gosh I found that each tight window had a "sweet spot." To find the sweet spots on your windows, slide them back and forth in their channels to find the max clearance - insert something non-damaging from the side and pry the screen out - works for me.

I got it out. I rotated it back on its corner radius until the opposite sharp corner cleared the slot. It will be interesting to see if I can get it back in after it is repaired.
