Sliding Door Curtain Tracks Trojan 36 - 1977

Post by macostello64 »

We just bought our Trojan 36. We took the old curtains down and had new ones made. When we went to put them up, they keep "popping out" because the tracks are worn. Does anyone know where I can find replacement tracks? We LOVE our boat. We call it our "boatel".

mazel tov on your purchase and welcome to the forum. i assume the curtains have the sewn in tabs with the catches on them? believe it or not, most rv supply centers have this in stock either in plastic or aluminium. i've googled 'rv curtain tracks' and this is a nice site that has various styles and sizes. i'm sure that bob at beacon marine also is a good source for these.
i have found though, for this kind of stuff, an rv store or supply center can be a godsend.

let me know if this helps.

Are you sure it is the track and not the plastic/nylon hangers?
Do they look like this?

No they don't look like that - They are like a little "T" attached to a tab that is inside of the drapery pleat.
