Done it twice on old vans, chucked the crap they use and put 1mm2 with in instead, not made of money here.

We've restrung one twice on our chausson 610. The hardest part is getting the screen out! Undo all the screws you can see and remove top section which clips off. Slide up the outside plastic strip on the right, facing inwards, it will reveal the hidden screw. Remove this last bottom screw. Then remove complete frame, minus top, lay down flat on a large table. Gently remove the 2 outside plastic straps either side and this exposes the sides of the mesh and where it's threaded. You'll need to buy braided non fray kite line, available on amazon, we used 1mm and available in various colours. Then it's a case of retreading. Diagram available on the net. Make sure leave lots of spare thread because you adjust it when it goes back in. Replace frame and knot around the spring when in place to adjust tension. It took a day the first time and a lot of head scratching! Take photos at each stage so you have reference points. Good luck! Cost approx £10.
