Default Question about curtains

when i install front curtains for the front driver/passenger door.. do i put the metal rail on top or on the bottom??

Brand: Belleza
Size: Small.

reason why i asked... the top portion of the window has a sharper curve than the rear windows.

all metal rails go on the top because you can bend them to the shape of the window frame.

plastic rail goes on the bottom.

the plastic rails from junction produce and garson are flexible enough to form to the curve of the top window frame. the metal one gets mounted to the flat part of the door, at the bottom of the window, with no need to bend... maybe whatever kit you're playing with is different..
