Just got done refiberglassing my cab headliner.
But my curved front curtain tracks are in sad shape.

Anyone got a couple extra off a parts coach they could part with?

Thanks J

I have a set you can have for the shipping cost. You might want to get in touch with the Guske's as they have a superior system that covers the front glass.

ANY IDEA WHAT SHIPPING IS TO MONROE NC 28110?

LOOKED AT THE SITE .. WHAT KIND OF SYSTEM DO THEY HAVE? DOES IT WORK OFF EXISTING TRACK?

I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE COVER THE WINDSHILD AND COCKPIT WINDOWS WHILE CAMPING AND STILL BE ABLE TO USE THE FRONT SEATS.

Their system actually uses plastic rollers, instead of the plastic knobs that have to be sewn onto the curtain. It also covers the gap better at the middle of the front window. The steering wheel still gets in the way but it is an improvement over the original curtains.

I have no idea on the cost to ship the old ones, I do have a round cardboard package I can use ( came from my upgraded curtain rods), but I would have to straighten out the tracks to make them fit.
By the USPS I would think it would be very reasonable less than $20

Bruce.. did the new system come with tracks? If so where they curved? aluminum or plastic?

Not sure if straighting the curved tracks would work. I think someone tried that on mine..

Do you have the new system installed? if so could i get a picture? Thanks
