I discussed this screen frame about a year ago after first getting my RN. It was to be a winter job but didn't get done.
My frame is not like either of those here. There is no groove on the side for a seal but there is a very very small gap on the inside of the frame. I believe that in a previous life someone went around and shaved the seal off close to the frame and then stuck a bit of spongy rubber on the bodywork for the screen to close up against.
Does anyone agree that a long tedious job is on the way to extract the cut off seal from the frame and a new seal of the profile type in the last picture can then be inserted in the groove.
