Need to replace screen door slider

The squarish plastic slider near the handle of our screen door has bitten the dust! Local RV suppliers don't have anything that size. Anyone ever replace theirs? Can use recommendations as to where to look. Thanks.

Most entry doors have a sticker or 2 stuck to the door themselves in the hinge area. How about a picture or this door information? Manufacturer and model number should help immensely.

How did you get the slider into the two tracks on the door?? Looks like I need to break the door frame to get it in! Took black handle off, but to no avail. Suggestions?

Bend it to put it in
Insert 1 side then bend the plastic to pop in the other side

Thanks. I thought about doing that. The thinner edge of the slider actually bends fairly easily. But the thicker edge is so much stiffer, I'm afraid I might break it if I bend it. Maybe if I warm it up in the sun it will bend enough to work. Thanks. I'll keep trying

Thank you very much for the comments about listing part numbers and part sources for parts for sharing with the Redwood community. We need to add tips too, like for the case here!

Here is the method for installing the slider:
1. Remove the two quarter inch plastic button caps on the "edge" of the door just above the black handle latch.
2. Remove the two screws that hold the slider support top bar in place.
3. Gently remove about 8 inches of screening on the top and bottom of the top support bar. Pull the small rubber screen rib out enough so you can raise the top support bar upward a bit
4. Gently move the top support arm upward about one inch. This will allow you to insert the clear plastic door slider.
5. Reassemble in reverse order of the steps above. You'll need a screen removal/insertion tool.
That's it ... simple after you do it once!��

Good luck and stay safe,
Ozzie
