You can buy in from any good full line Hardware Store. It is called "Hail Screen" and the size is 3/16". Almost all of them will have 1/8" and 1/4", the 3/16" may be a little hard to find. Usually costs about $1.00 per square foot. I have used the 1/4" several times and not once has anyone ever noticed.

When you remove the old screen just cut it away from the clips, they are just about impossable to get off as they are spot welded on. When you install the new screen start on one side and attach it with the prongs. I use 3" wide vice grip plyers to form it around the vertical ribs. Then put it on the center prongs and repeat the clamping around the second vertical rib and finally the prongs on the final side. Then go back using the clamping vice grips, clamp the screen around the vetical rip and use a small amount of JB Weld to attach the screen to the vertical ribs. I repeat this several times (once for each clip). This will take some time because you have to allow for the JB Weld to set up.

GOOD LUCK
