[@kareyreuben3869]

Very helpful, thank you. I'm going to watch this a few more times and tackle my project this weekend. I'm going to add a few extra slides in case one breaks in the future, the spare will already be there.

[@ALinsdau]

Best of luck!

[@kareyreuben3869]

I haven't done it yet, need to watch your video a few more times. I'll let you know. I sure appreciate this video you made, I've inspected my rod and it is exactly like the one you demonstrate with.@@ALinsdau

[@cucamongaduke3600]

This video was super helpful. We moved into a house with heavy drapes and the UV from the sun pouring in one window has caused an early demise to my traverse tabs. I have new ones on order and now I have the know-how to do the job. Thank you!

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching!

[@andrear.naples2916]

Ohmygosh, I am so glad I found this! Thank you

[@ALinsdau]

Welcome!

[@andrear.naples2916]

And it worked! Yaaaa

[@BilliesCraftRoom]

Really helpful thanks

[@ALinsdau]

Glad it helped

[@lydiakamanga6203]

Very helpful

[@ALinsdau]

Thanks for watching!

[@kristine769]

Damn, might want to clean before you film

[@martinherman8516]

What to do if the pulley over your head derails? Do you have to remove the rail to slide it in from the side? Please advise. Thank you.

[@ALinsdau]

The rail I worked on had a removable cap.

[@davidallen5108]

Hi: What is the brand name and model number of your end-carrier as I need one just like yours? Super helpful video!

[@ALinsdau]

I just bought it at the local K-Mart. I think the packaging was generic.

[@lisacoffaro4578]

Thank you!

[@ALinsdau]

Welcome!

[@cata_jpg]

hi aaron! great video! thanks! understand curtains much more! I wanted to know, what is that bigger traverse rod/slide that is attached to the rope called? One of mine is no longer sliding as the wheels have broken off and just wanting to replace/find the part. thanks :~)

[@ALinsdau]

Search on this: Traverse Rod Master Carrier The part is called a Master Carrier. Here's a link on Amazon to Traverse Rod Master Carriers: amzn.to/386i70W

[@MamaChristine]

Hi Aaron, what if you have the ones with the rings? Are the rings optional? I am working on my recently passed uncle's home and his master carrier is broken (plastic broke off) and it has rings. I have not yet removed from the wall or removed drapes yet. But, I'm wondering if the rings are actually optional and if i have to know exactly what rod i have to order a master carrier? Thanks!

[@ChrithBraown]

God I hate these things, most unnecessarily convoluted piece of hardware in my whole house.

[@ALinsdau]

Agreed.

[@cjwalla2]

Thank you!😊

[@ALinsdau]

Welcome!

[@leeleeahmad1279]

Thank you so much

[@ALinsdau]

Glad to help.

[@mandypurvis3479]

Can you make a video of replacing curtains on one of these rods my curtains are dated and I want to change them. I have no idea where to start

[@ALinsdau]

There are hooks on the back of the curtain that hang on the plastic slides. Lift the curtain, then pull the metal hooks. They're usually sharp.

[@emilywagner3754]

Hi, Is it the same for center draw drapes? Both ends open? Thank you.

[@ALinsdau]

Same basic mechanism.

[@Saintsrockitall]

I need the entire rod and brackets down. I'm trying this on my own and I'm guessing I need to take the rod off since it blocks the screws on the end.

[@ALinsdau]

My rail had blocks at the end that I removed instead of dropping the whole thing. Check that out first.
