VW T5 Curtains – Vehicle Specific Blackout Curtains

We genuinely believe our vehicle-specific curtains are the best on the market. Designed exclusively for the VW T5, they offer exceptional blackout performance, superior thermal qualities, and rails that are already cut to size and pre-bent for effortless installation.

Product Details

High-quality blackout curtains made from stretchy, thick jersey-type fabric
Double-lined material with built-in tie-backs
Press studs included to ensure full blackout capability
Premium finish designed for long-lasting fit and performance

Curtain Features

Exceptional thermal & light-blocking fabric for warmth, comfort and privacy
No denier confusion: Denier does not determine blackout level — our fabric is engineered specifically for maximum light blocking
Taut fabric design: Prevents movement while driving; slight natural loosening over time is expected with sunlight exposure
Pre-bent rails: Shaped to match your vehicle; final slight moulding may be required once installed
Straight rails included for Cab Dividers, these bend easily into place
Replaceable gliders: Gliders are attached to the curtains (not moulded in), making them easy to replace if one ever breaks
Colour options: Black or grey fabric, paired with black or grey rails

Important Note

If you have a twin sliding door vehicle, you will need to order 2 x passenger side (sliding door) curtains.

If you have tailgate window with a wiper box, you’ll just need to make a small modification to the lower rail. If you wish to fit the lower rail below the wiper box please get in touch to discuss fabric length needed.

Can I see out through the curtains?

No. These are blackout curtains designed for privacy and light reduction. Simply tie them back when you want an unobstructed view.

Are the curtains double lined?

Yes. All Shore Vans curtains feature a premium double-lined construction for improved privacy, insulation and a high-quality finish.

Are the rails included?

Yes. Each curtain kit includes vehicle-specific curtain rails, curtains, gliders and all required fitting hardware unless otherwise stated.

Do the rails come pre-bent?

Yes. Our rails are pre-bent and cut to suit your selected vehicle, making installation quicker and easier. Cab dividers come with a straight rail which can be trimmed and moulded to the shape of the van roof.

Can the curtains be removed after installation?

Will these fit vans with factory windows?

Our curtains are not designed for vans with factory interior moulding. Please get in touch to discuss your options.

Do the curtains help keep the van warm?

Yes. The double-lined fabric helps reduce heat loss during colder months and limits heat entering the vehicle in warmer weather, improving comfort all year round.

Do I need any additional fittings?
