Default Dumb Window Screen Question

I used to have screens like this, and they could only be put in from
the inside. They could be removed from the outside by prying them up,
but they wouldn't go back in that way no matter what was tried. The
easiest way of all to get them in was to have someone on the inside
pulling on the tabs and flexing the screen and someone on the outside
pushing and making sure the screen didn't pop back out. Either that
or use three hands on the inside....

I've never seen a screen that is removed from the outside. That wouldn't be
very secure either. You need to make sure the window glass above the screen
is being pushed all the way up. They will drop a small amount when you take
the screen out.

Just bought a 10 yr old house last year. We removed the window screens to
clean them, and now I can't seem to reinstall the taller ones upstairs.
The tallest screens are all the same height, and I can install the ones on
the lower level, but they all seem about 1/8 inch too tall on the upper
level and won't reinstall. I slide the top under the window frame, but
then can't get the bottom above the bottom of the frame. If I put in the
bottom first, I can't get the top in. Even if I get on an extension
ladder outside, I can't get them in.
