I'm just putting together bits for a '58 rear hatch... not sure if the lower of the rear hatch window took a rod or cord.
Edit:
With info from post below... I'm in for a pair of cargo door cords (with ferrules).
Thx,
E

I need to get a roll call on who is looking to buy a set of cords.. I ordered the new ones and they will be made today and will take two weeks to get here..I do think the price is going to be a bit higher then i first stated..The cost of the new and improved cord is the factor. Good Enough is not good enough! I have to make up the cords with the ends and don't know when I'm going to be able to do that.. I have a newborn at home and my time is very valuable around the house.

What model of '58 westy do you have that requires cords? I didn't know there were any cords on a '58. Mine uses only leather straps. Cords would be handy in any respect as it keeps the curtains nice and tight to the windows when that privacy is needed  |

I'm doing a resto-mod to a w/t panel & trying to stay fairly correct where I can.
Thanks for letting me know about the leather straps! I had no idea.
I'll go with the cords though.
I'm also going to make some rear hatch curtain rods zig-zag style (like the side rods) out of some straight bay rods... I like how they overlap more than how the straight rod works w/fabric closing.
I'm shooting for enough mod to make it as functional as I prefer... but true to form enough to make a couple people scratch their head.
I'm also going to make a little bit wider table... so it'll work better with the stubby early ambulance nurse's seat I'll put behind the driver (& maybe passenger side too). I want to maximize the usable cargo space & still have the great weekend camper/passenger functionality.
How's those bungees lookin'?... any estimate on pricing?

that's funny on the rear curtain rods; the earlier rear hatch rods were straight, then with the s-bend with the so-42's, then they went back to the straight style with the bay windows; just could'nt make up their mind on which way to go
