A plurality of bumpers are spaced and fixed along the sides of the closure to center the curtain between the support brackets. In a first preferred embodiment, the geometry of the bumper is such that the vertical side and the extending sides meet in one or more obtuse angles. In a second preferred embodiment, the geometry of the bumper is such that the vertical side and the extending sides meet in a radius.
