Inexpensive Replacement Screen Door
Tabaz
Member Posts: 2,420
The factory screen door is a very elegant design, but very fragile (I'm on my second one). They are also very difficult to repair for some of us (ScottG would beg to differ as he successfully re-strung his). My dear friend Cindy has a 2015 Model 320 whose screen door recently failed. Rather than spend the $250+ on a replacement door, she decided to try one of those magnetic screens with the seam in the middle. We installed it this morning, and I must say I am very impressed with its ease of installation, design and operation. I've included the Amazon link for the door we used which fits the opening left to right, but must be trimmed at the bottom because it is too tall for the opening. We purposely left extra material on the bottom for Cindy's seamstress to use in finishing the job. We used industrial strength double sided tape to temporarily make an edge at the bottom with the stock cylindrical weights taken from the pieces we cut off. View from the inside. Cindy will gently heat the creases with a hair dryer to eliminate the openings at the magnets because of the creases:

We were able to use the stock width by simply rolling over the velcro to the side of the existing screen door:

Notice the factory metal weights at the bottom of the screen:

Here is the Amazon link (only $29). The opening is 60" tall while the screen is 70".

Glad it works. If you wave an oppositely polarized magnet does it fly open?

Thank you for this information. The string on the screen door on our 2019 T@B 400 broke. I have reviewed the other posts about restringing it. Looks a little daunting. I did take the screen out of the T@B and started to take it apart ... then got cold feet and put it back together.

Many folks use these screens at their home, including me. Works very well! I would think that it is a must have with a dog to prevent ruining the original screen door.Sharon / 2017 T@B CSS / 2015 Toyota Sienna Minivan / Westlake, Ohio
