Aluminum Top Rail

Additional Small parts 

The eyelet is placed on the control side of the front/lead glider. This part will catch the second glider

when drawing the panels to the open/stack back position. 

The set screw can be an issue with this part. We are currently looking for a better option. This part can be easily replaced by the customer with a small allen key that we provide with a parts request.

____________

The drive eye is placed on the control side of the front/lead glider. A small hole is drilled through the plastic during production to attach it. The wand attaches to this part with the wand clip. 

This part can be replaced by the customer if the post breaks with wand installation or heavy use. 

____________

The runners are attached to the PVC glider so that the glider can roll through the channel of the track. One is placed on each side of the glider and the parts snap together through pre-set holes. 

These could be replaced by the customer with a pair of needle nose pliers.

____________

The T-stopper catches the L-stopper to move the panels to the open and closed positions. They are placed on all gliders on the control side except the front/lead glider. 

These can be replaced by the customer with a small allen key.

____________

The L-stopper catches the T-stopper to move the panels to the open and closed positions. The are placed on the gliders on the non-control side except for the back panel. The placement of this L-stop creates the 2.5” overlap.

These can be replaced by the customer with a small allen key.

____________

The mid-stopper is placed in the track to stop the panel from moving beyond a certain point. Generally, it is placed in the channel second from the back so it would stop the second panel from moving beyond its desired position. The back glider is left to move freely so that the homeowner can clean the window behind that panel. Split draw would have two of these.

This can be moved/replaced by the customer with a small allen key.

____________

The metal clip is attached to the back glider on the non-control side. It connects with the magnet in the end cap. This is used so that the homeowner can move the back glider freely to wash the window

behind the back panel.

This can be replaced by the customer but likely would never need to be.

____________

The magnet goes into a slot in the track end cap so that  the metal clip can connect with it. See above. 

This can be replaced by  the customer but likely would  never need to be.

____________

These end caps are used on the velcro top treatment on natural shade sliding panels. The smaller one goes on the control side while the larger one goes on the non-control side. The smaller one is needed because this end cap will need to allow space for the T-stopper part on the control side of the glider. These are tapped into place with a hammer/mallet. 

This part can be replaced by the customer. They don’t go in and out easily so tools may be required for removal/installation. Make sure to find out if they need the control side or non-control side.

____________

These end caps are used on the holddown strips for roller shade and natural roller shade sliding panels. The smaller one goes on the control side while the larger one goes on the non-control side. The smaller one is needed because this end cap will need to allow space for the T-stopper part on the control side of the glider. These are screwed into place with a tiny screw.
