I have moved into a new rental apartment and there are currently (ugly!) curtains over the windows that are on ceiling mounted tracks. I have fairly new tab tops curtains from my old place that i would like to use. Does anyone know if there's any way at all to adapt the tab tops to utilize the track that is already there? (if this is silly, please forgive me....I'm no Martha Stewart.):o
The only other option is to drill into the wall to attach a rod, but i'd prefer not to, since it is a rental.

Can't think of any way, short of getting rid of the tabs and treating them like flat panels, but then they'd probably be too short and they wouldn't be tab tops anymore. :(
I"m afraid ceiling tracks weren't made for tab tops.
