traverse in My Home& Garden

How do you remove and replace the plastic gliders inside a traverse rod? I have a permanent traverse rod attached to cement ceiling in my apartment and the old plastic gliders are breaking off. Need to replace them and I can't seem to remove some of the old ones.

Unfortunately there is no way to traverse a pinch pleat drapery with the vertical blind track. There are no options for connecting the drapery pins to the carriers of the vertical track.
