When the rattling of the plastic screen frame started driving me nuts I folded up and inserted a small piece (1"X1") of felt between the frame and window. Stopped the rattling and squealing both.

I *DID* do something with that knowledge - exactly what you proposed below. No good, the plastic just bows again. It worked for about a week, i think, before it was doing exactly the same thing. I was thinking of getting a little piece of felt trim to clip over that edge. The idea being let it rub, just don't let it squeal. --- Shawn Wright <swright@ZUIKO.SLS.BC.CA> wrote: > You're right, in my case it is the screen scaping on > the glass that makes the noise.
