Hi, I have just got hold of a set of original rear curtains com pleat with rails and very fine threaded self tappers. i am hoping some one has some close up pictures showing the correct position to mount them.

Don't know if these help Tomo, I would say probably measure up with the rear door closed, so that you know that it will close with the rail on.

Thanks Jo, I suspect some curtains are shorter than others, i drilled holes from some pictures sent me by Tidmo only to find they are hanging baggy. i will redrill as on your photo. my door looks like a tea strainer now

was i supposed to drill right through

well i needed some ventilation

Tomo,

Don't drill anymore till you have measured up! Our curtains are original. Rule of thumb is to measure length of fabric and see where you want them to hang to. I will send more pics as ours have a guide on the bottom of the back.

I hope you could see from the pics that there are sets of three notches top and bottom. Hold up though we cannot have your Bongo letting in water! I took those in murky light on an ipad, I will use a camera tomorrow.

Mine are original too...

Its pretty straight forward to get the bottom rail right:

1. Fit top rail & add curtains.
2. Close tailgate & feed the curtains onto the bottom track
3. Offer up the bottom track to the tailgate below the window and mark the location at the point where you get the right tension.
4. Drill holes & fit into place

On mine, the rail ended up part way down the rear door card, so I used some Velco strips on both surfaces so I could adjust it as required & avoid drilling holes.

Simon,

you would have to have tailgate closed in order to gauge where you would need the top rail?

Bring your drill and self tappers down to Allithwaite Tomo, we will sort you.

No, fit the top rail first. It can only really go in one place, but then adjust the bottom one to suit:

Here's a shot of the Velcro strips (the white discs) I mentioned to fix the bottom rail at the correct height.

You pics are better than mine Simon, but positioning is the same <thumbs up>

Sorry to hijack, but...

I am wanting to take out the curtains to wash them, but my rails don't have bungs they look like they are crimped at the ends. Any ideas how to get them out please ?

Thanks.

Also don't wish to hijack, but..

we have the rails already fitted, but no curtains. Can anyone tell me where to get the right 'hooks' for the curtains, and the curtains themselves?
