I tend to go overboard on my repairs... a little anal
retentive ;)

What I did
Removed whole canavs, and took it to a tent repair
shop.  They replaced the entire screen with a finer
nylon mesh, and added reifocements on the sides where
the push-bar can pinch it.

Reason - small holes in sides, and the fiberglass was
brittle, so bandaids (stitching) would only last a few
openings.

Total cost - $45
Total labor - many many sweaty hours trying to put it
back on

Just because you have an opinion, doesn't mean that anyone wants to hear it
