I've just bought silent gliss curtain track for my van, we are making curtains to fit. I have a few queries tho -
How do the front curtains work are the front windscreen curtains seperate from the driver and passenger window curtains but share the same track?
I'm guessing if that's the case then the windscreen curtains get tied back behind the front seats when open?
How do people ensure curtains stay in place when closed?
Has anyone got photos?
Any tips before I start? I'm using the self tapping screws but will need to pilot drill holes.
Thanks

Re: Curtain Track
Our Auto sleeper has one curtain each side that go from the pillar behind the front seats around to the centre of the dash. They fasten back as you suggest with matching tiebacks & secure with press studs ( pillar & tie back screwed to frame, clip fixed to curtain). There are also pillar/clip press studs fixed to dashboard & other end of curtain to keep closed. Sorry don't have any pics currently but might be able to post some later if no-one else does

Re: Curtain Track
Our van has curtain track from the front pillar to centre of windscreen on both sides. I made the curtains to fit, by making the side curtains long enough for the side windows, and the front curtains longer so they tucked down the windscreen leaving the dash 'shelf' clear. All my curtains had Velcro on each side so they could all Velcro together all the way round the van. In reality it didn't work for the rear window, but the curtains from the rear side windows, all the way round, do fasten together. And I added Velcro to the bottom of a couple of the curtains to stick to the 'carpet' type lining on the side wall next to the bed. However, I've now got a front thermal screen so I've taken out the front curtains, partly to save them being bunched up behind the front seats.
To fasten them open, I simply made ties and tie them up during the day. The best thing about making your own curtains is that you can really make them fit how you want.
