Removal of Bunk Curtains

[bigray]

Hello All,

I'm trying to install new curtain in by baby (79 party) and having a hard time trying to figure out how to remove molding that supports the curtains. I'm sure the screws are behind the plastic strip but I don't want to damage it.

Any ideas on how to properly remove it. I can slide the plastic stripping to either side to remove the two end screws but can get to the ones in the the middle.

I just joined this club and was reading past post's and saw that no one had replied to this thread and I wanted to know if you have changed the curtain's from the bunk area.And if so how did you do it? :?

I simply ripped the existing curtains from the plastic clips. The plastic clips stayed in place. I then used hot glue and glued my new curtains to the plastic clips.

If I have to replace the curtains in the future, I will remove the aluminum rod from the ceiling. I think the rod was installed before the sides of the RV were installed. Or perhaps there is a way to remove the plastic cover without damaging it. If so I couldn't.

I made sure I glued the clip equal distance apart. Make sure you do the same.

If you have already removed the plastic clips, you will find another alternative.

Good luck!

To remove the overhead  bunk curtain, use a heat gun to soften the platic molding/screw cover (be care not to melt it). Remove the screws and WALA!!

I was changing the plastic molding/screwcover on the exterior of  my Clipper and noticed how soft the molding  got when in direct sun. I was getting ready to paint the ceiling so I was taping everything up.  I took one look at the cabover curtain and support and it hit me like a ton of bricks - just heat up the molding with my heat gun and remove the molding.

It worked an caused no damage to the molding.

Happy Trails!
