Okay, the curtains didn't stay on as well as I hoped. I poked around the Silent Gliss website. I have the 1025 rail and the 3532 gliders. See http://www.silentgliss.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; the rail is fittef to the side of the van's inner trim so the silent gliss eyelet style gliders won't work as they'll stick out raher than down, as in Timwhy's pic in this thread, so if I switvh to those and curtain it may not wor properly, anyone any thoughts on that?

Thanks.

HI all!
I removed my curtains from my 1980 Aircooled to replace them. Threw some away as I thought they were all the same size!! oops!
I still have rear window, rear left, middle right and front right to work off but cant for the life of me remember how many curtains I should have! I think it's six altogether?

Is there anyone who knows the answer please?

all the best

My 87 Westy has 9 counting the front curtain, I'll put up the curtains sizes once I get done at work.

When I made my new curatins for my Westy, I used the information to make them from the Vanagonwiki. Here's the page on curtains.

I think the number can differ. Mine are replacements and go like this:
2 at the front covering windscreen and side windows - join in the middle
2 covering right and left middle windows
2 covering right and left rear windows
1 covering rear window
So 7 in total

However, my original autosleeper ones had 8, maybe for 3 at the front. I don't know. I can see how down the kitchen side I could easily have one long one and reduce the number to six...
