A metal curtain glide includes a spherical metal core coupled to a cable and having a polymer cup formed to fit a base of the metal core. The polymer cup includes a central opening for the cable to extend therethrough. An eyelet having a circular member with a connecting member is coupled to an end of the cable. A first member of a fastener assembly is coupled to the eyelet and configured to be removably secured to a second member of the fastener assembly that is coupled to a curtain. The curtain glide remains functional if the polymer cup fails.
