Where does my front curtain rail go?

Post by garywbrooks » Fri May 31, 2013 9:48 pm

Hi

I have bought a pair of Front Cab Divider Curtains from ebay and have just 'offered them up' into position and its not as simple as I was hoping, they don't appear to naturally want to fit anywhere in particular.

The curtain rail has a connector at each end and two connectors in the middle on small legs.

I've taken some picture..

Should I fit the curtain rail in position A, B, C, D or E?

Anybody any idea how to fit them?

If anybody out there already has some front cab divider curtains fitted, could they take a picture of them so I can see where I should be fitting mine?

Many Thanks..
Gary

They go just behind your head IMF you were sitting in the front seats at the roof vents
Mines clip into the actual vents on inner and to the outermost of the van pillar there's no drilling or screws they just clip in by the metal legs

in the last picture it shows the position of the rail. the metal hooks hook behind the air vent,it hooks on to the leg that holds the vent in place, push the headlining in a tad to reveal the leg. then put a small tapper in at each end in to the trim panel.

Many thanks...

I think I know what you mean.. My last picture the rail is in the right place, it just needs the metal legs swinging around and up inside the vents. Two self-tapping screws should secure the ends.

Cheers

thats it.
the rail maybe upside down also, or the hangers need spinning over.

Could you post the link for these as they seem a much better idea that the thermal covers that came with my van.
