Make them yourself. All it takes is some cloth and you reuse the hardware from the old ones. Also use the old ones as a pattern. Or take the old ones to a local seamstress and see what it will cost to do the work, let them tell you haow much cloth and you pick what you like at the local fabric outlet.

Measure your height. I am having MCD shades installed next week. My curtains are in pretty good shape. They do have a little sun marks on the exterior side. I will have no use for them in a couple of weeks. They are a tan color.

I recently had some made for a Monaco Dynasty. I purchased some pre-made 50" x 80" lined home style drapes at Home Depot, took 4 sets, for $19.95. Then I had a local seamstress cut them to the proper length, pleat the top, sew them together as needed and sew velcro on them. My curtains needed to be 42" tall so we had the seamstress turn the curtains sideways, i.e. 50" tall by 80" wide, then cut and hem them at 42". Total cost was around $150.00. The cost was higher than some you see advertised because of there were 3 sections and a very large windshield coverage. I had checked with a couple of places and due to the 3 piece design, height and length it was going to cost around $350-$400 so I am very happy with the $150 price!

Later I noticed that Walmart had a better selection of curtains and cheaper. I would have saved about $35.00 by purchasing from Walmart.
