hi there i am looking for some advice.
i want to put some curtain track in the back window of a panel van, and also the front, maybe westie style? i would also like to put a curtain between the front seats and the back area of the van.
what curtain track should i use, attachments for curtains and any suggestions on where to get it from?
thank you.

Re: curtain track location for panel van
I've got these screwed around the passenger side, front window and driver side.


across the rear, sliding and oppositeive just used screw-in " eyelits" attached to plastic/nylon covered metal core piping and threaded my curtains on them.

Re: curtain track location for panel van
many thanks for that. could you give me some more info on what width of tubing you used for the sides and back, and what sort of screw in eyelets and how they attach to the curtain? how long are the tracks for the rear window and for the sides? i only have a panel van so i should only need the front curtain and back curtain.
where do your front tracks start, around the b pillar to the other side?

ps did you spray your grilles, what paint did you use, and what paint did you use for your wheel rims?
many thanks.

Re: curtain track location for panel van
I'll get some photos of how mine are fastened in my van.
not sprayed my grill, the wheels are standard steelies powder coated and the tyres are White flaps that insert when you put your tyres on your wheels.

The white bits on the tyres are called 'beauty rings' (or whitewall flaps) and you can get them in metal or rubber!
and as for curtain track etc....
