Need the track for curtain that goes behind driver & pass seat. I have the drapes that belong there.
Thanks

It can be replaced with the standard I track. The roller hardware is a lot more common to find and the little plastic sliders don't have to be sewed onto the curtain fabric as required by the original design.

Or, you could do like I did to gain a little more space behind the seats:
At the rear step in the cockpit headliner, drill a 1/4" hole on each side
just above the rear flange of the rib there. At the center of the ceiling
in line with those holes, mount a small plastic block with a 1/4" hole in
each side, secured with two vertical countersunk screws. Cut 1/4" rods to
fit into between the holes in the headliner and those in the block. Use a
clear plastic shower curtain on each side with the rods through the
grommets of the accordion-folded curtains. Maybe I need to post a photo or
two. :-)
The transparent curtains make the cockpit seem much larger than do opaque
ones, and you can still see out the back window, though hazily.

Ken, pictures would help.
I thought the track sat in the grove in the headliner & was curved, maybe someone parting a coach would have one they would sell. Another method would work also.

Larry,
I've made photos & will post them later today. My tracks are straight, and
located 4"-5" behind the grove in the headliner. That's intentional
because the OEM curtain location was too far forward for my long self. The
straight tracks (rods) are not a problem clearance-wise, and by fitting
through the grommets, eliminate the need for any sort of guides.
