Tilt the bottom of the screen door towards you. Insert the rollers
into the channel at the top and then lower the bottom of the door
towards the channel. Once in place lift up and seat the bottom of the
screen in the channel.

Here's why that won't work.

I think somebody should answer who's had personal experience with this
problem.

How can someone demonstrate personal experience; after all you left
out a *'gif and posted it after the fact. Never mind!

Nobody asked what you thought, but you wanted too know what people
here thought.

I remember a poster here, just recently, who managed to remove an identical
screen. I don't think he's put it back yet, but maybe he could remember how
he took it off.

I'll check the archives.

How did you take it out? Looks like you would need to swing the bottom
of the door
away, point the rollers into the track at an angle?
