saw a couple other threads but thought i'd try something different.
we know they sag at the back end and it's annoying. no adjusting gets rid of it.
i zip tied a plastic tube to the hem, but it still hangs down and rolls out from under the hem, and bunches up when you close the door.
next i used a hole punch and installed some 4mm eyelets and colored them black.
i used velcro to attach some curtain rod hangers to the side panels. i'll trim the velcro after i work out the final position. it turns out the plastic trim panel is very thin and the brackets wiggle around a little.
then i cut a metal 5/8" curtain rod to length and zip tied it to the eyelets and the rod then sits in the brackets
and adjusted the brackets so that the rod doesn't ride up on the door when it's closed.
the only bad part of the whole thing is these eyelet crimp tools are crap. i got about 3/4 of the eyelets done and the bent to the point of being unusable. i straightened them with a hammer and vice but only got a couple more done. had to buy another set (that one bent too). $10 each, what can you expect.
