Removing Gliders with End Stops:

Most curtain tracks come with end stops that prevent the gliders from pulling away from the end of the curtain. These end stops can be easily removed. Here's how:

  • Use a scre driver to release the end stop.
  • Carefully remove the end stop.
  • Slide the sliders out

 

Recess Fitting with Metal Notches:

If you're using a recess fitting into the ceiling, you may encounter curtain tracks with metal notches. To remove and swap gliders on such tracks:

    • Use a screwdriver to remove the metal notch.
    • There will likely be a hole in the track that allows you to slide out and replace the gliders as desired.
