Tabs for the 63 tracks only on the top. As the tabs are expensive a lot of people use the rods for convenience.

I think we might add tracks bottom and top to keep a nice clean tight pleated look and keep the coach nice and dark at night and cool in the sun (if that is possibly )

Top and bottom rails came in 1969 for the front window - on wheel carriers. Side windows were the Kirsh tabs.
