Cab Curtain rails

Post by yellowbus »

I've got the plastic rails from just campers and am trying to figure out how to make them run round the cab area.

Anybody done their cab with plastic rails or got pics of their rails to get me started.


Cheers,

Kieron

Hi Yellowbus,

I've just recieved my plastic track from just kampers, I'm cheating and getting my nephew to fit mine as he has just
his T4.

Just kampers recommend warming the track (were gonna use a washing up bowl of hot water) then moving all the
hangers to the area to be 'bent' to stop it crushing in on its self.

If I get to do mine before you get any replies I'll let you know how I got on. Still waiting for my curtains I ordered off ebay on the 21st August! it did state 14-21 days for delivery as they are made to order.On the advert it said includes 2 curtains for cab area, I'm hoping it means to cover doors and meet in middle of windsceen and not the area behind the seats My vans an ex Ambulance/Minibus so its like driving around in a fish tank at the moment.

Ta Paul
