🚀🚀🚀🚀 IKEA should give you a percentage of the sales of these rails, you were the only one who explained step by step visually without having to second guess what’s next 💯💯💯
Hold your horses, i think ikea changed the system, they now include the ceiling mounts but only the bottom part, which by the looks of it, screws on directly into the ceiling as people were complaining about the mounts sliding out while pulling curtains.
I'm in the UK and I don't have the ceiling brackets in the pack. Looking at the menial, you only need the little lever bracket. It mounts to the ceiling with a washer so it can layer rotate.
I just purchased mine a week ago (January 2022) It came with all the items needed. I did not have to purchase anything else. Based on the front cover of your manual, which also is slightly different, more parts are included as well. So it may be based on when you last purchased your item.
This is definitely the case now. Checking Ikea US today shows the rail set includes "2 ceiling fixtures", which based on the pics are the ceiling mounts.
@@tehblue this made it much easier to put up. Not having to go back to the store. Although, I had hoped for them to at least come with basic screws/mounts.
I didn’t know Mark Ruffalo make how-to videos. I really appreciated it. Like everyone else said, the package instructions are possibly the worst ikea has ever produced
I’m not crazy. I installed a 15’ by 9’ IKEA laundry cabinet system but cannot see how to mount this to the ceiling. No brackets. Drove 1 hour to the store… no brackets. So how does this work? I get the slide mechanism… but this doesn’t go to the ceiling.
Those ceiling brackets aren’t included and IKEA doesn’t sell them. It also doesn’t come with screws to attach the plastic piece to the ceiling. I had to get a couple screws. Took me a while to figure this all out.
Sesrch of Ikea US no longer shows them as separate pieces (ceiling mounts) but rather as part of the rail set. Search "Vidga single rail" and the description now says "2 ceiling fixtures" included.
I was looking at this for an hour scratching my head then realized i need to buy the ceiling brackets separately… like couldn’t they just include the damn brackets with the rails..
At what point did you flip out and and have a mental break down when you realized that 5 day journey through the IKEA Forest was for nothing and you had to buy the locking anchors separately?
@@kianaporter-isom6254 you’ll have to screw them directly into the ceiling they aren’t being manufactured anymore. Just screw the lever in the ceiling and it’ll work just fine. Use a 1.5inch wood screw
My father literally had a stroke walking through the store. I wish I was lying… but I’m not. Finding the pieces for this was a pain in 2023!!! (Btw, he’s fine now…but really??!!)
Where did you buy the wall mount clips? I have been trying to install these rods since December and Ikea has not been able to help. Their installation video on their website does not even include the mount but it is definitely needed.
At the time I installed this system, more than a year ago, all pieces were sold separately. Six months later, they were sold in kits for either ceiling or wall mounted, different brackets. The wall brackets appear to be available in the kits. I have not seen or heard of the ceiling brackets for some time.
I have vent covered sections in my ceiling to access shut-off valves so I was able to see where some are. Typically they are run 16 or 24 inches apart. I think 16 is more common, so you could guesstimate the measure from one end of the wall. Lightly tap in a picture hanging nail, they are black with a brass top, very thin and make a barely noticeable hole, to see if you hit a joist.
How in gods name did you get the clips to slide into the ceiling mount? Seems simple enough but both of my pieces will NOT slide in so I can’t go any further with installation until I force them in with a hammer!
Part of my ceiling was opened for access to plumping and I used local code to determine the width of joist. My first time I missed but got it on the second.
Unfortunately I no longer have the plastic bag the mounts came in. I don't remember them having a name either, just a Ikea number. I don't believe these are available separately anymore. The rail kit for ceilings now includes "2 ceiling fixtures" which are the same mounts. Good luck!
I had some extra decking screws but your average 2" screw is enough as long as you attach to your rafter ties/joists. For concrete, 2" concrete bolts or concrete fasteners should do, depending on weight. I should note I diy and not a contractor so you may want profeasional advice depending on your application.
@@tehblue ok cool thanks, I was actually thinking 1" should do. But will think about 2" per your advise (will double check in home depot). Too bad ikea don't sell those brakets separately coz they are such a cheap plastic, I don't have confidence in 2 of them holding a track and 2 layers of heavy curtains. I wanted to put 3 brackets at least per track (but only 2 comes in a package)
Unfortunately I no longer see the mount listed on the IKEA US site but may be available in other regions. As of yesterday my local Ikea did not have it in stock either.

Wow you made this look so easy I had no idea i was supposed to purchase additional brackets 😩 I’ve been trying to figure this out for days thank you
IKEA want is back for seperate little things whole time to use more money .. clever sellpoint
I'm so mad, I went to Ikea and ask the guy what else I needed toget and he told me , all you need is in the box
What is the model number of the ceiling base. I can not find them anywhere
@@karlagomez3631 What is the model number of the ceiling base. I can not find them anywhere
@@robertgodwin6604 I honestly don’t think they sell them anymore when I went to my local ikea they only had wall mounting pieces
Omg I was about to give up until I found this video. THIS should be on ikeas website instead of what they have! Thanks a million!
That was WAY more helpful then Ikea's video. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for freeing my mind! Headed out to get additional brackets that I knew nothing about!!
Took me a few trips to Ikea to figure it out. Glad this helped.
Do you have the product name for the brackets?
Best video with close up installation
Wow that’s so helpful 🙌🏾 I didn’t know that I had to buy the brackets separate. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks so much. This was the most helpful one on RUclips

Gosh these rails are absolute nightmare, no explanataion whatsover from ikea. Thank you!!!

I purchased mine 2 weeks ago, and it didn’t come with that at all, I wished it did but it also depends probably the country we in, it was nuts

They haven't been available for some time, unfortunately. It really is a great system for ceiling hung curtains for windows or to separate a room.
Links to such screws would've been helpful
Could you pls let me know what size screws to use for ceiling mount
Mate. I was STRUGGLING with this 🤣🤣 Thanks so much 👍👍
According to manual we don't need those pieces that goes into ceiling. I couldn't find any in the store either....
I am confused! I never saw these little pieces, bit they make so much sense!!
Sesrch of Ikea US no longer shows them as separate pieces (ceiling mounts) but rather as part of the rail set. Search "Vidga single rail" and the description now says "2 ceiling fixtures" included.
@@tehblue Yes they have changed the system a bit, but you can still buy those little pieces here in Germany.
@@tehblue that’s insane. I’m running into this issue and it’s not included. I’m so confused
you can just attach the rail straight to the ceiling but then its not as easy to take back down to add more pieces to the track etc.

Did you locate the ceiling anchors? I cannot find them in store or on the site.

@@smrgoose364 so if you take the lock pieces and put a wood screw through it you won’t need the rectangular lock piece. I’m praying for your loved one
Thank you so much for this. You have saved me so much time!
Thank you! The ikea instructions looked so confusing
Thank you! It is really helpful!
It's the little details. thank you!!!!

Really helpful. Thank you. I was so struggling with this.👍🏾
You're welcome!
Thank you! I have really high floor to ceiling windows and need a way to cover them.
Thank u this was great!!!
Easy on the Mac 😜 Good vid 👍
Thanks my friend. This is very helpful
Super helped!!! Thank you!
Where did you get the ceiling mounts? I looked through the ikea app and I can't find them. Thanks for the video btw
Did you find the ceiling brackets?
Where you buy the ceiling mounts? Can't find it in IKEA
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!
I would really like to see how you found the location of the joist and determined what kind of screw to use
I have vent covered sections in my ceiling to access shut-off valves so I was able to see where some are. Typically they are run 16 or 24 inches apart. I think 16 is more common, so you could guesstimate the measure from one end of the wall. Lightly tap in a picture hanging nail, they are black with a brass top, very thin and make a barely noticeable hole, to see if you hit a joist.
Is there a weight limit on this rail? Thinking about using it for a heavy winter curtain.
I'm sure there is, but I find it to be very strong. No reason why it couldn't support some heavy curtains.
Super helpful!
Is the ceiling bracket still available? I bought the track rail but didn't see the brackets
Same here. It didnt bring the ceiling bracket . How to install it?
Thank you so much!!! Silly question what size do the screws need to be and did you need washers? Also not flat screws correct??
I used 1 1/4" sheetrock screws that I already had and no washers. As long as the screw head does not obstruct the clip you should be fine.
@@tehblue awesome thank you so much!!
Thank you. You really helped me👍🙂
can you send the link of the materials that you used?
Very nice!
Thank you so much!
Does this require power tools, or just a screw driver would be fine ?
Do you know the part number for the small ceiling mount base. I can not find it on Ikea
We're do I find those clips omg 😲 thank you for explaining
What is the model number of the ceiling base. I can not find them anywhere
Thank you Thank you Thank you!
Thank you. Instructions were terrible

Nice 👌
do you use a special technique for the floor joist location?? please share!!
Part of my ceiling was opened for access to plumping and I used local code to determine the width of joist. My first time I missed but got it on the second.
2023 in Denmark and the ceiling mount doesn't come with the pack. This sucks balls IKEA.
Thanks
Hi there,
Can you please tell me what this ceiling bracket is called? Because when I Google it I can't find this exact piece.
Unfortunately I no longer have the plastic bag the mounts came in. I don't remember them having a name either, just a Ikea number. I don't believe these are available separately anymore. The rail kit for ceilings now includes "2 ceiling fixtures" which are the same mounts. Good luck!
ThTs what I’m trying to find out also
Where did u buy Ceiling mount bracket? Ikea don't sell them anymore?
Ikea used to sell them separately. They're now sold as part of the Vidga celing kit.
@@tehblue oh cool, what about screws? You just went to home depot? I need to hang Vidga on my ceiling which is concrete
I had some extra decking screws but your average 2" screw is enough as long as you attach to your rafter ties/joists. For concrete, 2" concrete bolts or concrete fasteners should do, depending on weight. I should note I diy and not a contractor so you may want profeasional advice depending on your application.

What if I want to remove the rails?
Flip the locking clip the other way to release from the rail.
Where do you find the ceiling mount?
Unfortunately I no longer see the mount listed on the IKEA US site but may be available in other regions. As of yesterday my local Ikea did not have it in stock either.
Hi Where do you buy the ceiling mount brackets?
It doesn't appear they are sold separately any longer. You may have to buy a complete ceiling bundle to get a set.
@@tehblue did you use a ceiling or wall anchor? If not, how did it hold up?
I screwed directly into the ceiling joist. Parts of the ceiling are vented for various access which allowed me to locate the joists.
@@tehblue Great thank you!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤
U have done it wrong😅.. that little plastic thing, u need to turn it around 😀
Cortina vida ikea
Ikea dont provide everything you need to do the job its a joke
this shit is garbage. taking it back tomorrow.
Old video. Zero help. Brackets aren’t available. The movement of this video makes it impossible to see what is where. HARD PASS
I don't understand why these IKEA instructions are so confusing all the time.. useless manuals they provide
