I've removed the original curtain and I notice that there is a lot of material at the top. It's much longer than the curtain from a Super D that I have on hand, basically, there's just more fabric wrapped around the top roller. Any idea why they did this? Is it necessary that I match it, or will one wrap suffice? It's piqued my curiosity. | ||||||

Use your existing curtain as a template for the new curtain. | ||||||
