We are Ok with the curtain setup we have, but we would like to fix the rear curtain like Charlie did.

Thanks guys!

Yes to all the above and a special thanks to my staff, Podster and Luv2Q, for helping me out. You won't find the exact same track, but you can make it work better than the original installation. Camp on!

Charlie, you're right! The rail on the rear curtain is flawed. Like you said before, the screw heads are to large and they get in the way and keep the curtain from sliding freely. 

Question: Where did you find the rail at? That is, what is your source for buying more of it?
Thanks!

Danke Podster!

And Charlie - ten4 on that. I am having to rethink my measurements. Finding the hardware may be a challenge too.
