Pair of vertical rods for side curtains
Looking for 2 of the side curtain vertical rods, the ones the vinyl doors close/latch on.
They don't have to look pretty. I have a spray can of paint!
Thanks!

Make sure you get a right and left.

I thought both sides are the same.

Re: Pair of vertical rods for side curtains
I think the originals had a pin the went through a hole in the bow to windshield rod. This would be right and left. Those pins came off of mine and I replaced them with screws and locknuts. I am not sure now if they are ambidextrous or not. The front rods for the doors are definitely right and left. due to the bend on top where the sheet metal pieces go up to pin to the windshield are. Those sheet metal pieces like to break off too. I have made up new ones a couple times.

Yep, the folding rods to the windshield are L&R handed but the vertical curtain rods aren't. I tore my garage apart looking for mine and can't find them. Of course my garage looks like a bomb went off in there.

Tankerman 60,
Thanks for the tip on Riv.Rad (muttparts.com). I ordered the top vertical rods last Wednesday, and they arrived on Monday. They are indeed real N.O.S. Parts still in the numbered wrappers. Part number 7331287.
