2008 400EC Portlight/window Screens

TonyA

I need to replace all my portlight screens. Does anyone know part number or where I can get them? Outside dimensions are 16 1/2 x 5 3/8.

I believe @LaRea made his own.  Maybe he has a pic to show what he did.  I may need to do mine at some point as well.

I cut out the screen so I just had the rim, if you can peel the screen off even better, then I used screen from the hardware store and glued it on the rim with silicone adhesive and trimmed around the outer ring after it set. Screen replaced for a few bucks.

Actually now that I think about it I didn’t use silicone adhesive, I used a strong 1/4” double sided tape that I had from another project:

I actually separated the frames and glued the new screens in place with a hot glue gun.  After one season, they are holding up okay, with no signs of the hot glue failing.  But I wonder if it would have been easier to use double-sided tape like @Liberty44140.

I am missing one but will try these idea’s on the rest. Do you know if Bomar is the manufacturer of our portlight? Did find something similar but they don’t list the dimensions. Will email them for specs.

Hi Tony did you ever get new screens for your 400EC I would like to replace mine??

TonyA

I couldn't find any that would fit so took one to a shop that had a cnc machine and they are making them for me.

@TonyG13 if you get a good result, post details here and I bet several of us will buy them.

As soon as I get them back will post pics.
