    If you don't like small Velcro fasteners on your curtains you can install better one for less than $15

    Buy in Walmart magnet tape, 10ft for $4+ and heavy duty 2-sided tape. Magnet is self adhesive, but not enough. Divide magnet on 2 equal parts and make it flat. Attach 2 sided tape to magnets. Remove old Velcro fasteners and attach magnets. 5 feet will enough for vnl630, but not for 670, so you need to buy 2 magnets or just leave one bottom Velcro fastener.

    When I was in a prostar it had magnet curtains and I greatly appreciated them since I drove team and they were silent to open and close. When I got my cascadia I missed that feature a lot. Now I train and I'm thinking about putting in magnets in both my cascadia and t680. Thanks for this useful tip. I can't believe I haven't thought of this myself.

    went to Wal mart. bought an 84x48in lightweight fleece blanket on sale for $18. got 4 hooks in hardware section for $2.75. crimped ends of hooks onto blanket with pliers. hooks grab onto the netting in cubbys right above your head(by the CB radio), and wrap around to built in coat hooks where your seat belt goes into wall
