Hi all,
I am obviously new to the forum and although my name states I'm the video editor for the DIY Network and you'd figure I'd learn from all the projects we do, shower door installs isn't one I have run across yet and I need your help.
There were no specific instructions on exactly how the bottom piece that runs from side rail to side rail should sit and now that I have the side pieces up along the walls, I can't seem to figure out how to fit that piece in. I tried to slide it in between the 3-sided metal rails and it's very very tough and, I can see that I'm bending it trying to drop it in there.
It said in the cutting section that if I cut the bottom floor rail too short, It'll void the warranty (big deal) but I think I can make it work if I could just lop off a few more cm's. It said I had to measure from wall to wall above the bended corners at the bottom which has made it almost impossible to now fit it down between the metal side rails.
So did I install the side rails too low because it doesn't say anywhere that the rails have to sit so far offthe bottom and is this piece supposed to slide under the rails for the install? The instructions show it dropping in between the rails but it's not working for me. Has anybody had a similar install and know the way out? I can send pics if needed.
Thanks,
G
