Roll up screen repair?


I have a larson storm door with the roll up screen. The rubber strip at the bottom of the screen that holds it in the top of the window has split horizontally. It looks like it would be a simple repair to just remove the strip from the window, cut it off at the split and put it back in. However I have removed every visible screw in this thing and can't get it apart.

Any one have experience with this?

I'm kinda technologically challenged, never have figured out posting pictures on forums. It's a Larson model 346-14, but they don't seem to have much for pictures on their web site either.

Lol the replacement kit has to be ordered
For this
Unless... The piece at the bottom comes off if so you can just buy that take it off is the screen ripped to? Did you happen to check the home depot for the pull down handle?... It's a pricy door can't imagine how much the replacement kit is

I don't need parts. I need to know if any one has experience with taking this door apart. I can handle the repair or replace issue, if I can just get it apart without breaking it.

So your not finding any screws there not hidden with little plastic covers?
The sides don't pop out? seems to me the Side piece comes off hole mechanism slides out from the cover

It's a pain in the butt. I've replaced hundreds of these screens. For detailed instructions go here: http://www.stormdoorguy.com/owners-manuals/Larson/Larson Rollscreen Replacement Instructions.pdf
