curtain rail fitting

I have curtain rails to fit to my camper conversion. Can anyone advise on the screw size when fitting the curtain rail round the inside of the sliding door runner?
It looks as though any screw protruding will foul on the door upper roller. Can anyone help or have a peep at yours and let me know?
Thanks

did the same with mine, the best thing is to use a screw as small as possible then cut off any bits that protrude through with a dremel. Oh and be carefull when bending around the windscreen.

Bought mine from a chap on here. don't know what make they are but are aluminium and since they came out of his van,were pre- shaped.

There's some round thingys which were obviously factory fitted in the four corners so I was wondering if theres something specially designed to go round these or I suppose standard wire stuff would do - any advice is appreciated as I'm a bit of a newbie to all this
