We purchased a house that bought windows from Interstate in Pittston PA. They told me to contact you. I stopped there to see if they sold these retainer screen clips that hold the screen in place. They said they don't sell these anymore. They are a little under 4 inches long and about 1 inch wide. I've attached pictures. Your help would be appreciated since we can't open half our window without bugs coming in since the ones we have are cracked. We would need 50+ of them.
Thanks,

I'm afraid we don't have this exact screen retainer. You probably won't find this anywhere, since window companies manufacture these for only a brief time before getting rid of them entirely. We can still help, though.
The first solution to come to mind would be to cut what you have in half and distribute them evenly. To be perfectly honest, the overall height doesn't matter too much. Looking at the sample in your first picture, you could probably cut that in half and comfortably use the two pieces as normal.
Another solution would be to use one of our replacement screen clips with a screw. One combination that comes to mind is our 70-180 clip and 33-090 screw, but I can't make out the end profile of your clip so I'm not sure if this can work for you. See what you think.
