Curtain Track Gliders: Check the Profile
A matching colour or product name does not establish fit. Compare the profile and dimensions of a sound old glider with the replacement, including how it enters the track.

Photograph the track
Photograph the track end and channel opening, then the old glider from above and the side beside a ruler. If the end is closed, ask how to remove a piece without forcing it or dismantling unfamiliar fittings.
Compare head and slot
Record the head width and height and the channel opening width. Ask the seller for the same measurements. Width alone is insufficient if the profile differs or the hook support protrudes and obstructs movement.
Check the fabric connection
Look at the connection between hook and glider: is it a closed loop or another opening? Compare it with your curtain hooks and request an assembled photo before ordering enough for the whole curtain.
