Side Curtain Question

Unread post by Bucolic » March 2nd, 2017, 1:03 am

I recently acquired a complete set of side curtains, door frames and door skins. They appear to be NOS. I installed the driver's side side curtain today and it went well. No problems. When I picked up the passenger side I noticed that it was identical to the driver's side. The straps are on the outside on the driver's side but when I held up the passenger side with the straps facing out, what I assumed to be the door end was on the wrong side. Did I get two driver's side curtains?

sure sounds like you did. do both skins have zippers? that would be a giveaway. the passenger sides i have seen don't have zippers.

The doors have the zippers not the side curtains but the side curtains are pretty strait forward. If you are looking at the passenger side with the straps out the right side will have the flap that folds aroun the door post and attaches to itself on the panel. On the left you will only have holes if I remember correctly but you will not have both hole and buttons. Sounds like you got two right sides.

That's alright, I had a whole thing typed out about the gas cap cutout and even posted it before I realized he said side panel. DELETE, REDO!
