Rick,
The best way I know to secure the side curtains is to carry a really
big screw driver to tighten down the mounting screws - - have done it
using a quarter but we do not want to talk about walking up hill both
ways in the snow bare foot to school.
Also the last time I redid the side curtains I found or made 1/16 inch
thick rubber washers to go under the mounting screw heads. This seems
to help secure the screws and protect the mounting bracket from
scratches - -if one cares.
