Michael,
I assume you are talking about a curtain that hangs down behind the drivers
and passenger seat?
Where did you get it and how much did it cost?

The front curtain from a Volvo Class 8 Tractor fits just about perfect. I
had to buy new plastic clips to go in the track, but just hung one curtain
on each side and when closed, they velcro together in the middle.

But wait, order one set today and receive two free just by paying the
shipping and handling charge...
No doubt this is an interesting product. No doubt, the 3M studs stick well
'if you follow the directions' and therein lies a loop hole for the
marketer.
Also, how do you take a sheet of mesh and get it to work on the GMC's
sculptured windshield? On the shades I've seen made for the GMC there are at
least three seams -- one in the center and one on either side to accommodate
the change in angle, etc. for the transition from the side windows to the
windshield.
This product would be great for an owner of a unit with a fairly flat front
end and a fairly flat windshield. Otherwise, this isn't an easy, DIY
solution where there are curves involved.
BTW, this isn't the first time someone has pointed these out. Note also that
the measuring instructions are for a house, not an RV or anything near as
sexy as a GMC.

No, there is a curtain that covers the side windows and the windshield, the
one that hangs down behind the drivers seat was covered in grease, so I did
not take it.
I got it from the Men's Mall behind my desk.
I work for Volvo and when they decide to scrap a truck, everyone goes and
takes what they want off it first.
I got some sweet old school chrome bullet marker lights, that have LEDs, off
a show cab they were scrapping yesterday.
I have no idea on the cost, but I can look into what we are selling them for
in the aftermarket.
