I'm also interested in any info people may have about fitting/adjusting
TR3A side curtains. Althought right now I'm using some ratty aftermarket
curtains I will eventualy get some real ones and will have to deal with
fitting them. If anyone decides to reply directly to Sumner could you
also send a copy to me?
One of the things I've been wondering about is that if the front edge
of the curtain is supposed to fit in the groove in the windshield
stantions?
Sumner, are you sure that it's the interference between the top and the
sidescreen that keeping the door from closing? You might want to check to see
it the curtain's frame is hitting the body just behind the door. I'm
pretty sure that there's some overlap there.
Thanks,
Drew
