How to fix it? Weekender sliding window screen - any DIY ?

WeekenderClancy

I've just picked up a 2003 Eurovan Weekender.

The sliding window with the screen on it has the screen half falling off. Go-westy wants ~$159 bucks for a new replacement screen, which just seems a little too pricey.

My screen is still there, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a DIY way to fix. What adhesive might work to fix this?

A hot glue gun may work?

any type of silicone - type caulk should also work.

wow, that's it? that sounds easy enough!! guess I was looking for a secret sauce solution, but glue-gun/caulking compound sounds pretty easy & great.

hot glued mine. frames were broken by PO. mad gussets for the corners from scrap aluminum, pop riveted on. and fixed the root cause (broken tabs that hold it into the window) with some small binder clips.
