I have unused curtains for a 1996 grady white 268 islander. They have never been used and have been hanging inside my closet in an air conditioned house. No rips, no tears, all the windows are intact and easy to see through. I tried to put the pictures of them on this site, but the system is telling me the files are too large. If you are interested, send me an email i will send the pictures to you that way.
