Van x or Baimex curtains?

[Customcarnage]

Hi,

I've just bought a Tourneo custom and I'm thinking about fitting some cab dividing curtains. I see both Van x and Baimex have these curtains and wondered if anybody knew which are considered the best to fit. Also where on the ceiling of the van is it best to fit the rail. Any advice would be greatly received. Thanks Mark

Hi

i have fitted Van x in mine. these rivit into the head lining with the supplied rivits. these work well and i shaped the track to fit between the seatbelt top brackets across the roof so it hangs just behind the chairs and tucks into the columns at the back of the chair when not drawn.

Thanks Steve, those look very smart. Just bought the Vanx after see yours. Another question for you, did you rivit into the front cabin or rear passenger head lining section?

cant remember without going for a look, think i put it along the join but will have to check. I remember i put it along the line between the seatbelt brackets but just behind so you can get tot he seat belts without having to push past the curtain.
i did the curtains all the way round on the read too, this was before van x offered them tailored for the custom. I bought the ones for the T5 and had the Mrs re machine them on her sewing machine for me. i sent van x the drawings i made for size too so they could work out which ones i could make smaller to fit.

Thanks Steve. How are the rivets in the headliner holding up. Any sagging or headliner coming away? Sorry to bother you with all the questions. Thanks

No seems fine so far, but i guess it would depend on the rivits you use. Vanx supply their type which splits into a cross behind the headliner so spreads out wide like a big X.

The rivits your describing are called peel back rivets just incase anyone is looking for some there designed to be used on stuff that' a standard rivet will pull through or you can use washers and standard ones to spread the load

I prefer external screens for the front of the van with curtains by Vanx for the rear More of a faff but no condensation issues https://www.taylormade-covers.co.uk/cgi ... &ACTION=Go%2

Issue for me with those is storing them when wet.

A good shake and they are almost dry, the rain just beads off. Had a set for about a year, no condensation and also thermally insulate the van summer and winter.
