How do you replace a shower door seal?

In my case, the seal I was replacing was along the bottom of the door. I opened the door, then used a little screwdriver to pry off a little black cap at the end of the track. The pieces of the old seal then slip out (assuming that they aren't welded in place with soap scum). In my case I the "t" part of the seal fit just right, but the flap is too long - so I have to trim about 1/4 inch off with some scissors, then also trim the ends for length, round off the corners etc (if you have the old seal, then it is pretty easy to use it as a pattern). Then you slip the new seal in (can use liquid soap as a lubricant if needed) and replace the end cap. There are probably videos on-line...

Well I do not know what type of door you have, but on mine the part I replaced was the T seal at the bottom of the door. All I had to do was remove the end clip and slide the old one out, then slide the new one in and trim to length. I hope this helps..

Normally there is a channel type of slot the seal slides into. Be careful to buy the type of seal that will fit into the type of slot on your door. Good Luck.

Below are all good answers. Just one tip: cut the plastic seal after you slide it into the slot and wait it to shrink. The seal is easily stretched when pulled into the channel and may become short if cut it immediately.

The seal pulls out of a slot, and can easily be replaced....Just carefully remove and make changes to the handle!

I sealed mine with a spray sealer in advance. I think paint maybe your only solution

Donna, if your shower doors are really bad off, try using a razor blade and 0000 steel wool (only use the 0000 grade). Bar Keeper's friend has been said to help, but I had calcium deposits from our water so I found Lime-A-Way to be best. It was amazing how fast the doors cleaned up using that combination.

A screwdriver or needle nose plyers will work fine:http://www.showerstore.com/support/water-pressure.html

In my case, all the seals in my toilet tank need to be replaced. I think I saw where you could buy just the valve.

Take hold of the black edge around the bottom and pull down. It releases easily. To replace it, just press it back into place.

1 Unplug the washer's power cable from the wall outlet, or turn off the breaker supplying power to the appliance. 2 Open the washer door and then remove the wire-clamp and spring from the boot seal, which is the seal on the wash-tub opening. To remove the wire-clamp and spring, use needle-pliers 3 Move the seal away from the door jamb on the right-side of the tub opening. 4 Place one hand behind the door latch to hold it. Remove the mounting screws securing the latch to the inside of the door jamb. 5 Pull the door latch out of the door jamb and through the tub opening. 6 Disconnect the wire connectors from the rear of the latch. Discard the old latch. 7 Connect the wire connectors to the new latch. 8 Insert the latch into the door jamb, holding it into position from behind. 9 Secure the latch into position using the mounting screws that were removed. 10 Reinstall the wire-clamp and spring around the boot seal. 11 Close the washer door and then restore power to complete the repair.

I ran into the same problem. I ended up using washcloths where the foam touches the door frame. Easy fix. I haven't seen any foam replacements online.

harbor freight has a seal kit but it is just as cheap and easy to replace the complete float. Be sure your threads (pool side ) are the same as your float purchase.

All you can do is buy a new one.I did it three times-- no more . The hand sprays are just as good if not better. Also some of the liquid drips a little and the grout on the tile shower floor is damaged.

This seal is under the toilet and seals the base of the toilet to the floor flange in the floor. Replacement requires that the water line be disconnected so the main water supply should be shut off. Then the two nuts must be remove from the floor flange studs that secure the toilet to the floor. Lift the toilet straight up. The old seal will be either stuck to the bottom of the toilet or on the floor flange. Replace with the new one and reverse the dis-assembly. This seal can not be accessed from above or through the slide. If problem is water not staying in the bowl, This take a different seal - depending on the style of toilet complete disassembly of the toilet may be required. First try pouring hot water into toilet to soften seal then spray with vegetable oil. The seal itself has a grove where the slide moves to make a seal. Another problem is toilet paper becomes trapped in the grove as the slide closes. A curved tool can be formed from a wire coat hanger to clean out the trapped paper. Caution! Make sure that there is not a sharp end to the wire that will damage the rubber seal. Good Luck!

Mine went into rail. A high bond tape may work for some applications. Given the moisture and cleaning chemicals used in showers I doubt high bond tape would have lasted on my shower door.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get a new clip. Take the shower head with you. Until I did this I just let it hang down.

I use an old pump canister ( pressure bottle ) with a wand to cover the grout for the tile on the floor......I have not used Aqua seal for the tile in the shower....however... I would suggest a foam brush......Aqua seal is an excellent product...I recommend it highly. Hope this helps. Alan
