Drapes: does anyone manufacture replacements?

[tim burkhalter]

I have some broken plastic sliders in the windshield curtains. Do you have any suggestions on replacing those? My curtains are in wonderful shape!
Just the sliders that are showing the age. Well, there's also some velcro to hold the curtains together that has lost its stick. I'm not sure if
that's stock or added by PO though, so...

Tim,

Yes, the little nylon pieces are all aged out by now. Fortunately, all the little plastic parts can be purchased at RV supply places. Camping World
shows them on line, but the local store never has any, so I ordered them.

My '73 seems to have had some velcro parts, but the curtains have all been replaced by Day-Night shades.
Velcro is pretty easy to replace, just rip the stitching out and sew on new. It often has to be both sides.

If you plan on rolling your own valences, an easy way to get a pretty close body curve is to hold a piece of wood in the open door and trace the body
curve onto the wood. Cut it out and use as a template.

Are there any replacement folding blinds/drapes with the hooks(for lack of a better word) that are held to the side of the coach by the plastic
channel. Like the original fold down ones.
