2001 fourwinns vista 248 has the dreaded glue in screens. After alot of searching i decided to fix them myself. Here is what I did, it turned out pretty good. Remove the old screen and window seal. They should pull out fairly easy, mine did.

Next I trimmed a piece of screen close to size doesnt need to be perfect.

Spray some 3m 777 glue on to a a piece of cardboard or in my case a milk jug.
Using a small craft paintbrush, apply the glue to the bottom lip and one side where the screen sits. Let the glue set up for a few minutes. By letting bottom set up you can apply more tension to tighten the screen.

After glue has set up, take a razor blade and trim any excess screen material that is sticking over the slot that the window seal goes in.

Install the seal using putty knife to push it into the groove. I started in the middle at the bottom and worked around both ways.
Taaaadaa!
