OK. Officially freaking out. My family's house is on the market now and is supposed to be shown tomorrow morning at 11:30. My parents left town tonight. While I was letting my dog outside, she slammed into the screen and popped the lower right-hand corner pretty much off.

Is there any way I can just make it look DECENT without using superglue or anything that I can't easily remove?! Don't have much experience at this at all, so there's no way in hell I'm changing the screen.

If you can help, you're officially the Screen Door Guru.

Just rip it off and pretend it was never there.

use a tac, it will hold it forever. If you don't want to do something permanent get yourself some hot glue(you can peel it off) and it will hold. It is transparent and holds very well, it is like plastic holding it ;) If you don't have any, go buy some or get some from a neighbor:D Or you can roll a strip of transparent tape to make it double sided and put it on the inside to hold the screen, it should hold pretty good;) Or you can tie it off with string, or wire.

Usually there is a rubber strip around the screen that can be replace. This will require a trip to the hardware stor but it isn't that hard to fix. If it is in there permanently you can come stay at my house untill the storm blows over. :p :D

Like UDawg said, pop out the rubber strip around section and pull the screen out. Roll over to Lowes, HomeDepot or (and probably the cheapest) Ace and have a new piece cut. Put over the door, replace rubber strip and you're done.
