I recently repaired my screens with "Goop". Works fine so far. I found
that the Goop smelled funny for a while, so I'd let the repaired
screens "off gas" for a while before using.

One alternative to using those screens is to make a screen with
magnets and screen material. They would go over drive/passenger front
windows IIRC.

Cheers,

Neil.
