Drop Curtain order

[Art Vigil]

Drop Curtain (http://www.d-90.com/mod/curtain/index.html)

I've had a few requests so I thought I'd see if there are more people interested.
Need at least 10 orders before I'll do another run, otherwise I'll try again later in the year when the weather starts to get colder.
The price is still $170 (including shipping), but because of past experiences I will no longer accept personal checks. Payment must be either a USPS money order or certified bank draft and must be received before I have the curtain made.
Please email me directly as soon as possible if you want one, and include the words "drop curtain" in the subject line so it doesn't get deleted.

I am def interested. What is the turn around time on the curtanis?

I am def interested. What is the turn around time on the curtanis?
It depends on how long it takes to get 10 orders together. Actually making the curtains takes about a week. In the past, I've usually had the curtains before I've had the payment. This time 'round I'm not purchasing the material until I have payment for all the orders.

[chrisvonc]

I think thats a good choice for you Art. This is the 3rd(?) year you have done this and enough people have bought some that can speak up on their quality and effectiveness if need be, including myself.

[jaherring]

I imagine this would work well to keep it cool in the cabin in the heat, also. Hmm, I might be interested...let me know when crunch time is and I'll see if I have the disposible cash at the time.

[javelinadave]

I bought a used curtain this past year from another D-90'er. It works great! In Phoenix, we have blazing heat and the A/C could never keep up cooling down the entire cabin of my softtop. By reducing the cabin size by about 60% with Art's curtain, I ride around in total comfort not to mention that the ride is also much quieter because I don't hear the rear side windows flapping anymore. Thanks Art for this great product.

Does it work on a NAS 110? If it fits, I am in!

You mean it actually reduces noise, too? This sounds better than sliced bread. I think I better get in on this order unless I want to wait a year....

[Art Vigil]

*UPDATE* 16 Aug'04

I still need a few more orders to make a run. If you're interested, now's the time to speak up.
Feel free to email me with questions. I'll also consider trades.

You mean it actually reduces noise, too? This sounds better than sliced bread. I think I better get in on this order unless I want to wait a year....I noticed it being a bit quieter as well. The curtain is made of a layered tough felt type material on the one side so it does act as a bit of a baffle and the window part is tough plastic. I do notice a reduction of the noticable noise I pick up from the rear windows.

[jaherring]

Art,
You've got mail.

[Art Vigil]

Almost there. I'd like to get this order in by the end of the week.
Anyone else?

[Marx-110]

Art, did you say this did or did not fit a 110?

[COSteve]

Art,
I will be able to check a 90 Wagon Hardtop tomorrow, from that info, I should have a good idea on if the confirguration is the same. Will post tomorrow the outcome.

[Art Vigil]

Thanks Steve - I'm interested to find out if it will fit a 110.
If after you look at the 90 wagon you're still unsure, I will have some time tomorrow evening when we can meet up somewhere to test-fit the curtain on your vehicle.
Plus I'd love to see that 110 up close :)

[Art Vigil]

Still taking orders...

[dmb]

Its getting cooold outside and I purchasing a drop curtain from Art. I know that he may need a few more orders to make the material purchase worth doing. Anyone interested now is the time .. of year.

[COSteve]

Art,
I am in for a drop curtain, Let me know how to pay. Have concluded that If needed, I can modify it to my 110.
Tried to send you private message, but no success.
Let me know if possible and payment process.
Thanks,
COSteve

Art,
If it's not too late to get on your list... I'm in. It sounds like a good price for something so useful. I think back to a trip to Jackson, Wyo. a couple january's ago (is anyplace on earth as f-ing cold?), I would have paid a pretty penny for a good drop curtain on that trip!

I can't help but think that your drop curtain might help stem the flood of dust that blows through my soft top from rear to front on those long dirt roads. I could do away with that fancy piece of duct tape that seals the top of my tailgate.

I'll drop you an e-mail and watch this thread hopefully.

thanks,
Rod

[flippedrover]

Damn. Wish this thread had poped up a couple of weeks ago before I ordered a drop curtain from Badger.

[Hans]

Maybe next year for me. Between the head gaskets, and all the work on the jeep.... no dollars to go around.

[roverboy]

whenever I see a thread in reference to Art's drop curtain, I feel compelled to add a post.

I bought one from Art last year, and I absolutely LOVE it! It looks factory, it's made well, and it makes a DRAMATIC difference both in heating and cooling the interior. (When my soft top is on in the summer, it works great with the AC too.) Plus it looks cool.

In any case, if anyone's on the fence about whether to get one of these or not...I'm telling you...get one. You won't be disappointed.

[jac]

Still taking orders ? I'd like one.

[excanuk]

Count me in too. ST please.....


Thanks,

Art,

I'll take one. Thanks!

I'm finally getting around to wanting to order one but i just installed my badger top this past weekend. The Badger top velcros around the roll bar instead of snaps like the BesTop. Anyone using Art's curtain with the Badger top, if so, how'd you do it?

Thanks!

Thanks! Check the write up page on these (link should be in Art's first post). I added my comments about using this with a Badger top there. I actually and going to try it this week with the snaps on the curtain undone and resecure the velcro of the top to reduce the noise.

[Sergeant_V]

Art,

Received mine yesterday and installed it today. It's a great looking piece and installed without any problems. Thanks much!

Thanks for the reply, Chris. Any luck with trying out the new install this week?

Shoot Keith, I forgot to. I am off today so after some phone calls I will give it a go and post back.

Art,

I am interested. If I don't get a viable soultion to the meager heating system by next winter my wife will never ride in the D again.

Micheal,

Some would see that as a good thing :)

I am interested to be one of the 10 to get the Drop curtains in production for this year:-)
We are getting another early winter in northern Calif and I want to play and not freeze in my
D- 90.
Thanks
Becky

[chrisvonc]

Hi Becky.. it should be getting close to that time if Art is going to do another run of them. If he doesnt post back in the next few days, post a reminder back here for me and I'll shoot him an email.

Man, my ears were burning. :blush

Sorry, I'm not very active on this list anymore, looks like lots going on, hope everyone is doing well.

Actually I only need 5 to start an order. So far I have 3 - little early in the year (usually get orders when it gets cold) for it - anyone else want one?

Shoot me an email and I'll add you to the list.

[TDI Guy]

Ok. I will take on e too Art.

[snosrfr]

curious as to the quality vs. chris's badger curtains??? how's the plastic?

-C

[Art Vigil]

I have enough people committed for me to do a run. If anyone else is interested send me an email, I'm placing the order this week. If you haven't sent your payment yet, please do as soon as possible.
Questions, email me: amvigil(at)comcast(dot)net

As to quality vs. Badger:
You're not comparing apples to apples. The Badger drop curtain is a high quality supplement to the Badger top. It closes off the area behind the front seats and seals up completely like a truck cab. I believe it even zips to the top. It's a finished product and pretty nice from what I've seen.

My curtain is a purposeful and inexpensive way to keep heat (or cold) in the cab portion of the D90 by blocking off the area behind the front seats. It is easy to fit and remove quickly and can be used with any top combination. The plastic window is at least the same quality as the one used in the stock D90 soft tops.
It is not as pretty nor does it seal up like the Badger, but it doesn't pretend to be the same product, it's not.
It simply works - well.

Hope that helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

[chrisvonc]

I can also add that the plastic is good and thick. I've had mine for 2 winters so far and it still looks good. As Art said, its not a badger but the material used is somewhat insulated reducing some noise as well as improving the barrier. Also Arts goes fully from top to bottom.

[GeoParth]

i would like to join the group purchasing the curtains in anticipation of a chilly winter.

[chrisvonc]

They also work with the AC.

[snosrfr]

thanks for the info.

[TDI Guy]

Art, Send me your address and price and I will get you a check out asap.


Randy

[GeoParth]

hey art - the check is in the mail and i sent you an email. thanks again

[TDI Guy]

Mine is in the mail too Art.......

[Art Vigil]

1st group of curtains will go out middle of next week. I'll email you with a UPS tracking number when yours ships.
If anyone else wants one, I'm still taking orders. Just drop me an email.

Thanks Art. It will be a great improvement as the temperatures head south.

[Art Vigil]

The last group of curtains went out today. You should have received an email from me with a UPS tracking number. If not, email me and I resend it.

Also, there is enough material for 3 more curtains. If anyone else wants one, drop me a line.

Art, mine arrived on Monday. Thanks! It's great, and such a good idea. I had to make a few mods, both to the curtain and to my overhead console, to get everything to fit, but it's going to work. It's at a local top shop now, having my trimming tidied up a bit. Also, I'm having them sew a black liner on the front side, to cover the fuzzy insulation. I could just see every bit of dust and muck that gets into the cab sticking to that...

[TDI Guy]

Awsome.. Just got back from, vacation and its here. THanks Art.
