Window corner help

Hello I need help finding the right screen window corners to replace some broken ones on 24 year old Certainteed windows. I have 3 pics of the broken original window screen corner and also 2 pics of the screen frame to see if that is even something I can also get as one side buckled removing the screen from the window.

Dimensions of the window corner are: the square part is 3/4" and the width is 7/16".

I see part number 95-034 as the closest but it shows 3/8" width. My measurement is like 1/16" different but may work. Please assist in finding the correct one so I can order some.

My framing is 31 1/2 " and not sure you see that at all.

Thank you for your help and look forward hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Thanks for reaching out to us. We unfortunately don't sell a corner that matches your dimensions. The only product we have that measures 3/4" x 7/16" is the 95-229, but this looks a lot thicker than yours on a picture to picture comparison. Can you verify your measurements?

Thank you Tom for reaching out. My dimensions again are 3/4" X 7/16". I have double checked many times to be sure lol.
I see your suggestion but you stated that looked thicker. I know my original has angled ends and yours shows straight ends. Would that matter slipping into the frame as long as the dimensions are the same? There is 95-034 which is so close and would maybe be a little looser by 1/16" so that maybe is an option as well. Do you sell the frame as well as one side is bent? I also measures the frame and it shows the same dimensions.

In my experience, a gap of 1/16" can be a deal breaker when it comes to screen window frames. You could try to find something to plug the gap to help out (I've even used toothpicks snapped in half, in a pinch) but that's obviously not a long term solution.

Given your dimensions, the 95-229 is the only corner I can find in our inventory that aligns with your own. However I cannot guarantee that it will work due to the differences in design.

As for the frame itself, that's unfortunately not something we sell.

Thank you Tom for all your help. I may actually order some of those screen corners you pointed out. I realize it looks different but the dimensions are what we need. Worth a try. I may also order the slightly smaller one as well. That way I have a comparison to try and May need to modify a little like you said with toothpicks.
Thank you so much!
