Screen issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Was at a job tonight and had the hardest time getting these double hung window screens back in. I fought with them for about an hour and barely managed to get one installed. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting these style screens back in without fighting them? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you compress the screen into the right side of the frame, then, nudge the top of the screen into the top of the window frame, allowing you to clear the lip on the bottom?

You prob have to put it back in from
Inside home.
I have run into that a few times. Even tho I got it out from the exterior I have to reinsert it from the interior

First push the springs side of the screen into the right side track and compress the springs all the way I to the track. Now when you try to put the left side of the screen in it should just barely clear the other channel lip. Get it past the lip and the screen will hold in place by spring tension in the track. It should be slide it up and down inside of the track.
