I ordered regular roller shades from Just Blinds cause the slow rise shades would not have worked without major modifications to the front drop down bed.

If the slow rise shades will fit and you don't mind the upwards cost:

Shade-Man Roller Shades |

Remove curtains

I have Hurricane 2003-curtains on windshield have held up no problem with fabric. They are soiled with water spots. How do I remove them? Where curtain attaches to track, how does curtain detach? There is a thread loop at top with small hooks that slide inside track.

I just unbent the hooks and slipped the rope up out of the hooks.

When our Vegas was a year old and sat in the FL sun in the storage lot, one day I went down to do some things, opened the front curtains, and the liner came showering down like dust. We took the OEM curtains down and salvaged all the little clips that ran in the track. My wife used the curtains as patterns and she made new ones from calico fabric from Joanne's. The result is in the pictures.

Thanks Ed for your re-post of what you did regarding the
disintegrating liner on the front side window curtains.
We also, had this problem. I thought for a nano second about making new curtains...couldn't find a material I liked...
I went to work on the golden colored curtains...removing the bits n pieces of the liner which remained. When done..we were pleased with the curtains as is. So far all is well with our solution to the problem...3 yrs later...

Same problem with liner. Took mine to curtain lady near me she told me the material Thor used is the dust cover used on the bottom of residential sofas not made for curtains just cheap stuff. Relined curtains and they look like new.

The last hook on the track usually has a removable attachment to it that you undo it from the curtain:

Looks like this but without the swivel:


Then unscrew the hook from the track and the rest of the sliding hooks have a place to come out of the track.
