Thanks, this sounds like an interesting idea. I'm used to the curtains on my '88, but
having it attached to the door sounds like an even better idea. I might see if I can
come up with a split curtain for the door, using a piece of the flat aluminum "rod" and
ties at each end. Snaps or magnets would probably work well if I didn't have two
young kids to pull them off...
