I got mine from GoWesty, theirs is a different part number than BusDepot.. and theirs has a mid curtain that seperates front seats from the mid area... the material is crummy though, and the snaps are not of a quality as good as found at Westmarine... Sunbrella material is better.. so you could use Gowesty's as a template for a sunbrella replacement... although I had to add snap extensions to make the gowesty curtains fit on the rear and one and the driver side... and for the passenger side I had the length cut in half, so that the curtain moves with the sliding door... 

The curtains are behind glass with tint.. so now now my tint looks limo-like and you can't see the curtains from the outside... 

For the mid area, I ended up buying a curtain rod and had a sunbrella two part curtain made with a sleve for the rod, and I have string running through the rod and have tied each end of the string to the coat hanger plastic round parts on either side... and I used brown packing tape to tape the curtain rod so the two pieces its made of don't slide and change the length...
