on my regular gl i had a few years back, i made curtains for them.
i found that two methods worked well.  the firts being a bungee cord to
string them up. it is elastic enough so there is no sag like there would be
using a cord or some sort.  this can be mounted by taping the ends of the
bungee and then screw a bolt thru the taped ends and mounting that to the
inside of the van where you want it to go to hold up the curtains.  it is
pretty crude but will work.
the second method is by the use of button snaps.  this method is even used
on westies to hold up the front curtain.  IMHO this is a better method
because it looks nicer, less invasive, and easy removed for storage.  go to
michaels and buy button snaps.  Mount one side to the curtain and mount the
other side to the inside of van and voila, snap on curtains.
good luck
