you might run out of headroom
have you removed the back seat in the xB
it is a little funky shaped--not to mention the gas tank below....

it could be two bucket seats, no way to fit 3 across with the towers mentioned by the venerable Max2k (no dummy!)
then you could set off the side panels with some waterfalls with IceLED's so you've got 2 million color waterfalls!!!!
on a side note, i was thinking of getting the backup sensors and display unit until.....
I got to play with the 06 Touareg Navi/backup camera ( btw..I work @ VW dealer)
this thing draws an area on the screen (in reverse) and the area changes when you turn the steering wheel
it shows your actual intended course overlayed on the live picture of whatever is behind you----SO PIMP!!!

I finally have time to look for stuff again.
looking at the pics, it seems the rod has a horizontal channel where you insert the small black pieces which i think is attach to the cloth of the curtain.
I found an electrical cord channel that might work(also came with peel tape), but OD size is too big(1/2") and its white.

Well my view on it is.... get over it
Let people B*tch about your car, theyre probabaly jealous. Sometimes they give criticism you can use. 
If you care about what some 13 year old kid says about your car and let it get to you, then you have bigger problems in life IMO 
But if you dont want to show thats cool, thats just my outlook on it.as for the curtains, i cant wait to see what youve come up with Sid. im really interested to see how they turn out
