How to change screens on a 2002 282 sailfish

Assuming you're talking about portlights?
A picture would help, but it sounds like your screens are glued to the inside of the frame and then the rubber seals are stuck (they come peel-n-stick) onto the screen. Meaning, the screen is sandwiched between the frame and the seals. If you want, you can get new seals that have a groove in them to accept a stand-alone, plastic-framed screen that pops in and out. This is assuming you have Bomar/Pompanette portlights.

I believe the older windows have an integrated screen as Dennis indicates and are not easy to remove/replace. I'm not sure of the manufacturer, maybe GW customer service can be of assistance? If you do find out, pls post as I'm sure many people would like to know.
OK thank you I’ll look at it more tomorrow I’ll take some pictures but yeah it does look like they’re glued in
I have the same boat, mine appear sandwiched in the frame as others have mentioned. Please do let us know what you find out, i always assumed if i had to deal with the screens I'd be doing the window removal/reseal job. The escape hatch is on my list for sometime this year.
