Curtain Pole Tiny Screw Type.

casper_gutman

If you can't remove the grub screw but it doesn't prevent you from removing the crystal finial part, then can you just leave the grub screw where it is? You can secure the finial by gluing the pole into it,* or drill a small hole on the top/back where it will be unobtrusive and either tap a thread in the hole to accept a second grub screw or just insert a small self tapping screw right through into the pole. 

*Before doing this, think about whether you'll be able to use the curtain pole if you can't remove the finial in future. I suspect this wouldn't be a big problem as long as the other end is removable, as you can just lift the pole off the brackets and add/remove rings from the other end.

OP, I was just putting mine back up yesterday and a similar design. Have you got the thick end and thin end on the right ends? From the outside, my pole ends are the same, but the thin end one has a thicker collar.  Took me a minute to realise the difference. Also, the tiny screw is in the right way? I over loosened mine and it dropped out, had to remember to put it back in the right way. 

I need to check as it was Next fitting service originally inc' Poles.
Those tiny screws I've accidently removed one or two and luckily spotted them on laminate flooring.
This damaged bedroom Screw doesn't look like screw from inside pole, almost Soldered end.
That Coller is that the Round piece which is similar to curved support brackets.
I wonder reviewing photo there's every possibility the Screw hasn't been inserted correctlyly-no chance of inside pole screwdriver.
thanks

Re checked it doesn't look like a screw inside or from outside.
Thanks mser's I'll manage with re tightened Bracket.
