2023 320s Broken Screen Door -- How to remove?

The screen door on our 2023 320s Boondock has failed with multiple broken strings.  I've seen the posts about restringing it, but I am facing a more pressing problem: how do I get it out?  Because of the trim board along the top, I don't see how it can come out without removing the refrigerator. I contacted nuCamp and the response was that they install the screen door before the refrigerator.  

Does anyone know of any tricks or suggestions for getting it out?  If I need to remove the refrigerator, how hard is that?  I'm handy, but I don't know if I am that handy ;-). If I want to replace it I would have the same issue.  The short term plan is to use the install the split screen with magnets.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

    If I were in your position, I would just go all in and commit to removing the fridge first. Have a brand new screen door on hand to install. After the fridge is out, it will be an opportunity to clean behind there, look for possible access points for future mods. Be sure to post some pictures just in case I have to do the same in future,  =)

    There are two screws under the felt at the bottom of the door frame. Be careful. There's a cord running through there that can be damaged by a screwdriver. There are also screws in the upper corners that have to be removed. On either side of the frame there are two more screw locations that are not tight. After removing the other screws, the frame can be lifted and pulled out through the wider opening at the center of the screw mounting slots. 

    Fixing the screen door is a PITA. Our dog destroyed it on our last trip. Luckily none of the strings broke, but we had to pull it apart to adjust the crimped junctions that had slid out of place and taken the tension out. Today's project is to reinstall it.

    Ours is an older 2020 320, but hope this may help.

    I can only speak about my year and model 320, but removing the screen door is fairly simple: (1) remove the two plastic covers at the top of the corners of the door, (2) you will see one screw on each corner - remove them, (3) go to the bottom track with the black felt, (4) there are two screws hidden by the felt that secure the door to the floor - you can feel them by running a finger along the felt - remove them, (5) the screen door is not directly fastened to the side of the trailer - it sits in metal brackets on each side of the door, (6) simply lift the door off the brackets.  There is no need to remove the refrigerator.  Hope this helps.
