Sliding glass panel won't stay up
by Jan
QuestionI have a screen door with glass on the bottom and screen on top with a sliding glass panel that goes all the way up and locks in or slides down to expose the screen. However the little plastic slides that hold the glass panel at different levels are broken. Can I replace those without buying a whole new door? AnswerAbsolutely you can replace them. They are called "storm panel clips" and you might be able to find them at some hardware stores. But they are stocked by suppliers like CR Laurence and Swisco. You might have to phone these companies to see who carries them in your area. If you remove the sliding window and flip it upside down, you should see a tiny access hole above the location of the clip. If you push down through this hole with a small screwdriver the panel clip should slide right out. Be prepared to catch the spring and the tiny retainer pin as you slide it out. Take the panel clip with you to the window repair store to get the right replacement.
