M 6258 Frameless Shower Door Bottom Seal for 3/8 In. Thick Glass Doors – Stop Shower Leaks and Create a Water Barrier, 36 In., Clear Vinyl (Single Pack)

I recently had a custom shower built. I love having a glass door on the shower I think it elevates the look of the shower. I purchased one but needed to ensure that it fit my doorway perfectly. This was a perfect fit because the shower door was measured well. The tile is completely flat and even. This was easy to install and I have no leakage from my shower. It is almost completely see through so matches the door. Forms the perfect seal for the shower door. It arrived fast and is offered at a great price.

This fixed our problem almost 100%. We just built a new house and decided to have frameless shower doors because we had seen some in a nice hotel we stayed in and we loved the look. I also loved how there was no u-shaped metal track on the bottom of the shower for the door to sit in, which can turn into a hard to clean place for dirt to collect, not to mention it can be ouchy on your feet if you step on it or stub your toe. However, the shower in the hotel did not have a sweep like this, and after using it, we ended up with quite the puddle of water on the hotel bathroom floor. I figured it was just poor design of the tile ledge that the door hangs over, and if we simply had our builders make sure that the ledge was sloped enough, the water would run down the door and continue down to the drain. However, after our beautiful bathroom was completed and we moved into our house, we quickly discovered that we too were having water escape under the glass door and all over the floor. I Googled the problem and discovered these clear shower sweeps that people were raving about and decided to give it a try. It's not very expensive and it installs simply by sliding into place with no glue or adhesive, so there was really not much risk involved. (The lack of glue also means it is easy to remove for cleaning purposes.) With super fast 2-day shipping, it came, we clipped it on the door, and immediately our problem was solved! We had almost zero water escaping the shower. The remaining escaping water is caused because we also have a slight gap along the side of the shower door where the occasional well aimed drop or two can find its way out, but it is minimal enough that we have not opted to also install an additional h-jamb along the side of the door because the h-jamb will not allow the door to continue to open either into the shower or out into the bathroom space (you have to pick which way you want the door to open, instead of having both options). But, if we decided in the future that those extra escaping drops were overly problematic, then I would not hesitate to install an h-jamb as well (http://smile.amazon.com/Polycarbonate-Jamb-Hard-Degree-Glass/dp/B001G12TZQ/ref=pd_bxgy_60_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0YWV6MKMT2YTW3EZS2S7). We are very happy. So happy, that we got a second sweep for the downstairs bathroom as well. Although, one word of caution; it appears that how tightly the sweep seals between the bottom of the door and the shower base ledge depends on how exactly hung the door was originally. Our basement sweep fits slightly more snug than our upstairs sweep because the door in the basement was hung just a fraction lower than the upstairs door. This make for a tighter seal, but it also make the door slightly more stubborn to open and close. Perhaps, with wear, the plastic will become less stiff and allow the door to swing more freely.

Tight fit. Makes the door leak proof and hard to open.

I fit great on the glass width and is very sturdy! My girl math made me not take into consideration the bottom part, so I did have to cut the entire bottom part off because my shower is raised a bit, so it wouldn't fully close. After I cut it a bunch of times with kitchen scissors, it worked! I did have to heat up a spoon to push the sturdy plastic down, so my door could close a bit better. If the company is reading these comments, can you please make one that doesn't have the bottom flaps that touches the floor and possibly the corner make it so the plastic is a bit more flexible. I love that it's SUPER sturdy but my door doesn't close all the way because it's sturdy and it angles out. But again, my fault because I'm not great at measuring. I've had it on for a couple of weeks now and no water is coming out.

Definitely hard to cut to size and hard to install, but does the job as described and prevent leaks for my standing shower!

Exactly what we needed for glass shower door. Easy to replace. Measure carefully as we had to return the first one due to not measuring the grip side correctly. The product is just as described and should last a good while.it keeps the water inside the showers is flexible to swing eitherninnornout.

This product is not "clear vinyl". The insert part is plastic and should not be trimmed with tin snips or a utility knife. A hacksaw will work but I used a dremel cutting wheel to better control the cut. This was the first time I have installed a seal so I did not start cutting at the 30" mark. Snips shattered the plastic, a hacksaw was cumbersome, and I wouldn't even think of using a utility knife on plastic. I did use silicone in the grooved area to make the placement on the door easier. I would have been better off purchasing a seal that is entirely vinyl.

Shower door sweeps are one of the most common items that I replace for my clients. If you have a glass shower door, you can bet that the sweep will start failing at about the two-year mark. When this happens, water will start leaking out on your floor, this is frustrating and, in some cases, can cause damage to the sub floor. These seals are easy to install, all you need is a sharp razor blade, some glass cleaner and a little time (maybe 10 minutes). Make sure to measure the thickness of the door so you can order the correct size needed (unless you have some off brand, budget grade door that the builder installed because they wanted to save a penny or two, see the "heading title"). The old sweep should slip off the door, downwards. It may take a little force because of calcium build up but will come off. Using the "new" sharp razor, BE CAREFUL, and shave the calcium debris off the door, then clean the glass so the new seal will slip into place. Make sure to install the sweep with the water diverter facing into the shower enclosure. The seal should fit snugly, and it may take a little force to get it place. Start from the hinge side of the door and work towards the outside edge. Once installed, you can use the razor blade to trim the seal to length, and you're done.
