Can vinyl sweep at bottom of glass door be replaced?

Watson524 · Feb 2, 2011

Hi all. We have a framed glass shower door. The vinyl sweep that goes between the door and the drip edge at the bottom is crummy and torn. Can you get just a sweep to put in there and replace it?

thanks!

Yes, but parts are hard to find. Check with someplace like Ace Hardware, then look for a specialty glass and mirror shop.

EVERYONE has a replacement sweep. Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Lowes, you name the store and it will have what you need.

You should be able to find it locally, but if not, or you want some more options, check www.wilsonglass.com on-line.

If you buy it online, the shipping will probably cost more than the sweep does.

Thanks all! I found that Sears has them so I figured they were pretty common once I saw that. Now I just need to take the drip edge off and see if I have a flat kind, a T kind etc.... And I'm about to post a separate thread about actually taking the whole framed glass door down to deal with crud and silicone that's getting moldy.

If I were to go to all the trouble of removing a shower door assembly, I would buy and install a new one rather than clean the old one.

Either way, I'd have to clean up the crappy, molded up caulk from the shower itself so I don't see the sense of putting in a new door.... Of course, by the end of this project, I might be asking myself why the heck I decided to do it vs paying someone.
