Sliding Curtain Base Fixed Track Repair

Postby MichaelOKC » February 13th, 2021, 9:31 pm

This question concerns my 3467 Santego. The curtain that covers the rear sliding door, is held in place at the base by a metal track embedded in wood. The curtains slide on this track, held in place by small oval, metal(?) beads attached to the curtains by threads. The beads fit into these tracks. My problem is that my metal tracks are slightly bent so that the beads slide out of the tracks or get caught where the tracks are constricted. The result is that the curtains hang free, vertically, rather than angled with the door. My initial efforts to align them have only made the problem worse. Does anyone know either where to locate replacement tracks or a better way to realign them? It seems like a rather simple problem, but no less annoying. Your suggestions will be most welcome.

I believe you want a new curtain rail. Google boat curtain rail and see what comes up. You may be better off buying a new rail and the sliders. https://www.sailrite.com/Curtain-Track- ... um-55-Long

Thank you very much. I believe, now, that I can piece together what I need. I was totally unfamiliar with the vocabulary of curtains.
