How do I know if the seal is fitted correctly?
A correctly fitted seal will sit snugly against the glass and the extended lip will be positioned to direct water back into the shower. You should notice a significant reduction in water on your bathroom floor after showering.
Troubleshooting
Seal is difficult to install
Ensure the glass edge is clean and dry. Try gently wiggling the seal as you push it onto the glass. If the glass thickness is within the 4-6mm range, it should fit with some firm pressure.
Water is still leaking from the bottom
Check that the seal is fully and correctly seated along the entire bottom edge of the glass. Ensure the extended lip is positioned correctly to direct water inwards. Verify the glass thickness is compatible (4-6mm).
Seal appears to be losing flexibility or cracking
This may indicate the seal has reached the end of its lifespan or has been exposed to harsh cleaning chemicals. Consider replacing the seal. Ensure you are using only mild cleaning agents.
