Don't suppose anyone has a T25 curtain pattern?
Willing to pay for it.
Thanks

I think this is in the wrong section. Sorry

Just measure and add a bit more, I made all mine no probs. make them long enough too, a lot seen are too short and dont reach the bottom wire and then you get coldness down your back at night!

magnetic strips can hold curtain to the van panels if they dont reach the wire, or shrink in the wash as happened with a set of mine

Or go to B&Q - buy a roll of underlay for laminate flooring - £14.98 - it will do all windows double thickness if you've only two rear plus tailgate, or else single thickness the four rear - it's waterproof and thermal - gaffer tape the edges, then spend days searching for suckers to attach it to the windows. When it's done it should be warmer than curtains, let in less light, and I won't get it flapping in my face when I'm driving........

You can get measurements from one of the Pro VW curtain making sites. Or measure windows add a couple of inches to each side, and at least 3 inches to length( to tuck in to lower wire) Unlike household curtains, you don't want too much fullness when they're closed.
