Edward,
I removed the plastic screen frame to rebuild it with stock screen from
Lowes. I cut the screen to fit the frame then put a fine line of silicone
caulk on the screen contact surfaces then pressed the screen material into
that.
While the frame was out for the screen repair I got after the screech by
using 100 grit sandpaper to sand down the high area of the frame so that it
does not contact the glass. It didn't take much and has been effective for
a year or so now.
