Metropole FAQS
Can you remove additional gliders from a corded Metropole?
Generally you shouldn’t need to do that. The best way to tackle this is to space any extra gliders out evenly at the back of the curtain. It won’t affect the functionality. It’s not that easy to remove gliders on corded poles due to the pulley mechanism.
