I'm a bit confused (not unusual), with your term "Velcro Glides".
Teflon Glides go under the lip of a carpet wand when using hot or cold water extraction cleaning.
The Glide I THINK you are referring to is the one for op or rotary type machines that have a backing of Velcro. ??
The purpose of these in my opinion, is to break down the surface tension of the carpet.
This means that when using a bonnet on the carpet, this creates drag on the carpet and also bogging down of the motor which could burn the motor out.
Placing a Glide underneath will reduce that surface tension because the Glide is smooth and will allow the bonnet to run easily over the surface.
I hope that is correct, if I'm wrong please tell me, 'cos; I still forget things.

I don't regret my past, I just regret the time I've wasted with the wrong people.
Take me as I am, or watch me as I go.
I'll retire when I can no longer do what I love, or no longer love what I do.
Stop moving, start dying........
