Want to replace plexiglass window in plastic coop with mesh, but how??

[Tracyree]

i have a Smart Coop that I use as an isolation coop when I have issues with my flock in the big coop. It is plastic and has plexiglass windows. I’d like to replace the windows with mesh of some kind. It would need to be rigid so a raccoon can’t just bend it and pull it out. I dont want to make a bunch of screw holes, but Im having a hard time figuring out how to make a replacement window. It’s held in by sitting in slots that hold it. I COULD just drill a million holes into it, but I’d rather a different “window” altogether. Any creative folks have any ideas?

Pictures of the windows would help a lot. Can you remove the plexiglass fairly easily?

Easily enough, yes. Just a few screws to loosen the roof

Maybe create a frame out of thin plywood that fits in the existing groove and attach the mesh to that? That is if you can find plywood thin enough.
