Andersen Storm Door

I have an Andersen storm door (model 2000 I believe) that has the useless plastic retaining strips that are a bitch to get in. Do you sell an alternative? Clips would be fine even if I need to drill a hole. Thanks.

This is the end profile of the retaining piece but im not looking to replace them- I have plenty of these plastic retention parts and the design itself is just awful.
I've read that yoy have clips that can be used
Even if I be need to drill for a screw to hold them on that's ok. I am more concerned that these plastic strips will not hold the glass door in and that the door will shatter

Hello,

The problem with these long retainer strips is that every different door company changes the style that they use almost every year. This makes it next to impossible for companies like ours to keep up. If you're looking for an alternative, we suggest considering something like our 70-180 storm door clip and drilling a hole for a 33-020 screw. Take a look and see what you think.
