I had to buy really short rivets because the longer ones I already had interfered with the window and I had to take them out also. I thought later that maybe I should have used really short screws instead. Then if I had to do it again it wouldn't be so hard. Getting the rivets out without enlarging the hole is pretty tricky. I just went and looked at the one I did and you have to remove the entire inner frame ring because the same screws that hold it go through the screen frame, also. The inner frame wasn't sealed, so it came off fairly easily. I, as I stated before, did this in conjunction with replacing the sliding window, so it wasn't just replacing the screen. I'm sorry if I am confusing you. It's been a while since I did that so it's sort of foggy. Us old guys don't remember as well as we used to!
