Well, that sounds easier, if the issue is dealing with the plywood panel up
there. Hopefully it doesnt have to come out but I bet it should. I wouldn't
want to screw in snap fasteners from the front, when a
through-bolt/nut/washer is needed to keep the screws from pulling out when
the screen is used. Does anybody have any long-term experience with this?

Thanks,

Jim
