Get an extending pole from any curtain shop ,Ive fitted mine above the plastic side trim behind the seats and extended the pole so its nice and snug pushing into the roof liner.

We have a mid rail. Here is how we fitted ours. Hope the pics help.

if it is a factory mid rail then it has 2 "brackets", which hook behind the roof air vents, then you have to drill a small hole each end for additional fixings.....plus if factory curtains, you need press stud (male side) on the end fixings....... if that makes sense..... if not can do a photo... how to ....later on as got to go to a meeting now....

I did the same as Dave. V. simple and convenient and it can be quickly removed and used to close off an open tailgate in hot, dry weather or when I'm using the tailgate awning. I got a pair of cheap velvet curtains that had a tunnel stitched in to the top so they just slid onto the curtain pole. An s-hook is used mid way for support so that I can - if I want - hang a TV/DVD player from the pole.daveblueozzie wrote:Get an extending pole from any curtain shop ,Ive fitted mine above the plastic side trim behind the seats and extended the pole so its nice and snug pushing into the roof liner.

Total cost (in a sale) around £20. Thanks to Mr & Mrs Dago for the original idea
