I have made some drapery for a window with a transom. The window is 84" wide. I am not sure how I am going to mount the rods because I am sure the center support is needed and the window is all vinyl. If I had thought about this prior to making the drapes I would have taken them all the way up above the entire window, but it is too late now. What do I do about a center support?

Hi and welcome to the forum! What kind of rod are you using? If it's a 2" or larger wooden rod or a solid metal (iron or steel), you should be OK without a center support.
Another suggestion would be to add another fabric to your draperies at the bottom or the top, depending on the overall look.
Sorry, but I think these are your only choices.
