Useful information - cheers.

This is what it looks like, it's plastic, not fussed if the colour isn't the same i just need to find some. Thanks for the suggestions so far, i have found it in metal but was told it wouldn't bend!

Mine's made from aly, and its bent just fine

Hello Dave,

Where did you get it from mate?

Sorry, it came in the van so i assume its standard autohomes fitment stuff. but its made from aly, and is bent around all the corners just fine. i think vwcurtains sell the aly stuff, so you should be able to bent their stuff ok

This is the Silent Gliss 1025 track your after - I have been looking for this at a cheep pricce for ages without sucess - it seems to be horrifically expensive!

If you ask/look for 1025 make sure the seller doesn't confuse it with the Gliss 1021 track which is the other way up:-





1025 trak as you know is this profile:-

IT AINT CHEAP STUFF!!


They also state you cant bend it yourself which is rubbish - as long as you heat it up with a hairdryer/heatgun it bends really easily and stays bend once cooled

If you find a cheaper supplier than the ones I have listed then please PM me/post on here as I too need a load of track - around 5 metres of it!

I can get it for £18.00 + vat for a 6 metre length. If you recon it can be bent then i will buy some, i had it in my hand and got a refund when i saw it was ally and said i would need a tool to bend it same stuff SG 1025 let me know where you are and if you want some?

Jaydog - you have PM - call me or pass me your number

rivots mate.. changing the curtain rail was a nightmare.. the cab is double or triple skinned, so if you have to drill new holes be careful as drill bits can break easily there.
Good luck.

Cheers D'Squared, think I might live with the curtain wire for now and get the van finished and if money and time permits then go for the curtain rails next year.
