Yes, I was going to tell you all that it is the screen that doing it on my
Westy also.
  The tracks are well-lubed, so that's not my issue, as was my first
instinct.
  Maybe, sand a bit off the screen frame so it no longer slightly contacts
the glass?
  My frame clips snapped when I removed my screens, so now that's a problem,
too.
