Curtain tracks...

Does anyone know where I can get replacement curtain tracks? I got some Vistoso curtains brand new, 2 sets in fact, and none of them come with the curtain tracks. If anyone could help me out that would be great....

I've been looking around and all the rails I've seen look like they would work for these type of clips.

These are the same a belezza, you can also transplant hooks too. Just get a cheap set of curtains off ebay and use the hooks and rails and just replace the cheap curtains with your expensive ones. I did this to my belezzas after I broke the rails for them.

well what else can you do really, either that or buy a new set of curtains just for the tracks?

Sucks, getting a set of generic ones wouldn't be so bad if they weren't only selling from out of the country. The shipping costs are horrible. Wish someone just made the tracks separate....

unless you have square windows, I'm pretty sure the pvc pipes aren't going to work as curtain rails.

I mean doesn't the rails need to be flexible enough to contour the lines of a window?

Hope you find some rails for cheap

I had to heat the plastic tracks to the contour of the top side of my Q. (I have Belezzas)

So, no the don't have to be flexible right out of the box if that's what you were trying to ask.


Now debating whether I want to keep the curtains or not.

Hey everyone, after visiting a couple of office stores, the closest you can get w/o being home improvement ghetto is a packet from OfficeMax. Its "Officemax slide bar report covers, 15 pack." Exact wording. Maybe w/some cutting, it'll work. Costed me less than $6 bucks

or you could pick up small aluminum tubing run it in a router to channel a line down it, polish it and mount it.

I would much rather have the track in the door panel it's self then to have a add on.. but thats just me

I just ordered the generic curtains from Ebay to get the tracks from them. Works perfect and probably the same rails as all the other brands...

There is a pretty wide range of small sized curtain tracks available at Curtain-Tracks.com that work well in vehicles. I think they present a better option than hanging PVC pipe.
