You will need some of the welt also to sew to the curtain so it will slide into the track.

Rather than screws I used Sika 292. The track can be glued on above the window so any rain runs over the track and down the outside of the cover rather than under the cover.. Use of snaps at the cover top will still allow water to run under.

I do need to reglue every few years but for your application should not be a big deal. However, a thorough cleaning of both mounting surfaces on the hull and the track and that will be kept to a minimum.

You will still need some snaps below to secure the covers from flapping. Use
Butyl tape to seal the screws.
i think i understand.. that would work well.. you can even open the sliders and get some air flow
