All of the Shower Door Drip Rails have completely Sold-Out but you can help to bring a better one back by Crowd Funding the project through Pre-Ordering yours now

This How-To video walks you through the install of a Replacement Shower Drip Rail on a Neo Angle Framed Shower Door (Screen), which was leaking like a sieve, because water was escaping from everywhere.
We started by cleaning the bottom 4" of the glass along the bottom frame channels, using both Methyl Hydrate and Naptha (lighter fluid), then sealed between the glass and the frame with white caulk (clear may have looked better).
Then we cut the Adjustable Shower Drip Rail to fit over the frame and laid it flat against the glass. We left about 2" (50.8mm) of overhang beyond the hinge, so the water could drain into the pan.
We made sure to create a steep rake of about 2½" (63.5mm) starting at the outer handle edge of the door and sloped it down towards the pan.
The Peel N Stick transparent adhesive worked great, but we also use the caulk to fill in the cut outs between the glass and around the frame, as well as along the top of the rail, because we wanted to test it with water right away, because it really needs a minimum of 24hr. to cure.
My friend Ali is extremely happy, because it saves him so much time and work from having to mop up all of the water that was flowing out of the shower enclosure.
These 36" (92cm) Universally Adjustable Shower Drip Rails can be retrofitted onto any flat Framed or Frame-less shower door. We will find other shower arrangements to show you how the Rails retrofit onto them.
