We don't have an exact match for this clip, but it's very similar to our 70-026. Look this part over and see if you could possibly use this as a replacement.

Thank you for the information. I have placed an order for the clips and rivets above from you. While waiting for them to arrive, I'd like to work on removing the old rivets and clips, but am not really sure how to properly. Do you have a video on the removal process? Everything that I've found online is drilling all the way through, and I don't want to damage my screens. I watched the video on your site about installing them.
Thank you!

I'm afraid that we don't have a video on removing those rivets at this time. You're right, though, it pretty much just requires drilling them out. If you aren't comfortable doing it yourself, you may want the help of a local professional.

I used an oscillating tool and cut the rivet head off and then just pushed the remaining rivet shaft into the screen frame. I would think a Dremel cutting wheel could be used as well.
