New to site...89 Islander. Curtain ?

[blackduck]

Hello gang. I'm new to the site and fairly new to starcrafts. I bought a great 89 Islander hardtop last May and love it...fish primarily out of Grand Haven, MI.

I'm looking forward to collecting and sharing info on this forum.

That said, does anyone know where a guy can buy replacement curtains that go inside the cuddy? I trust many of you have experienced broken/cracked plastic tabs that connect the curtain to the aluminum runner.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Most fabric stores should have what you need.

I had the mother-inlaw make new curtains, then I uses some small fishing snaps on swivels to go in the track because I could not find plastic one small enough to go in the track. I cut one of the swivels eyes off.
These work ok, but do not slid as well in the track as the plastic ones. Works good enough that I have not replaced them. Basically a swivel snap with on of the swivels eye cut off.

I would guess then a RV Dealer or Parts place the one in my RV has very small hangers that run in a track.

I'm thinking about going away from the track deal and just doing velcro...
