Does anyone know of a place that I can buy the snap on curtains for a 99 Eurovan MV?

Sorry I'm not much help, but I've been wondering if curtains were standard in all MV and Weekender models, or just the latter.

Ours has the snaps, so I am thinking yes?

Snap in curtains are not going to be an easy find.

Price the fabric at $60, one hour of seamstress time to double hem, and put the snaps in yourself.

You get exactly the colour and fit you want

Pm me if you need measurements.

I think 99 and 02 are the same

Are the snaps for the tie-backs, or does the entire curtain snap into place? My Weekender has sliding tracks for the curtain hooks

On the MV, the entire curtain snaps on and off. It's a bit of a pain because you have to drag them out and put them up every time. What's nice about the sliding curtains is also that they're more discreet.

My MV has sliding tracks on the sides and back, snaps only on the front.

Right, because yours is the Weekender. The non-weekender (non-poptop) MV has snap curtains only.

I didn't know about this MV vs. MV Weekender curtain difference. Interesting! Makes sense, and is something @xtremjeepn has alluded to when posting about pop-top conversions, but it's new info to me!

Now, if only someone would make two-sided snaps that don't nearly pierce your fingers when snapping the curtains in place...

I'm not sure if they are model correct for you but GoWesty has curtains listed in the eurovan category.

Yep, original MV grey on good shape. I値l have to take a closer look at the set I have. Maybe later today.

I致e seen sets go for $250......which I honestly think is too high personally.

Let me peek at these again when I知 in the shop and I値l let you know.

I just got a 2003 MV...but I see the curtain snaps along both sides of the van. I need the grey curtains, too. Anyone offering to sell or know where I can get them? Did everyone's MV come with curtain rails except for mine?

MV are snap in curtains and weekenders have curtains hanging from rails.
