Anyone know what curtain hooks / gliders will fit the FRONT CURTAIN RAIL ??

Hi there,

I have one of the original factory front curtain rails in the cab, but it does not have any curtain hooks.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT HOOKS WILL FIT ON THE RAIL ?
or where to order from?

I have tried the swish glider hooks (that are usually found on those bay window rails) to see if they will fit, but the part that holds the glider on the rail is too small and it falls out.

I have had a look at a couple of online seller of various different types of curtain hooks, but it is diddicult to judge which ones might work, without seeing them up close.

they are an odd ball size, your best bet would be to contact a breaker and buy a set of curtains with the sliders included.

Thanks,

After hunting around numerous curtain shops, fabric shops and hardware stores, and trying many different types of glider and hooks, I have now found a glider that fits the rail !!

Now to cut some curtains to the right size!

Hi. We have the same problem with our recently acquired Bongo. Can you tell me which hooks you bought in the end. They are surprisingly expensive and I can't afford too many mistakes. Thanks in advance

from B & Q,

I think they were called something like 'metal glider hooks' (white colour) - 10 in a packet.
