Slide replacement, I hope this helps!
These items worked wonders to fix my shower door; one would barely slide at all, now they both work great. Besides the slides I would suggest you have replacement rollers as well on hand, as I replaced my rollers and this helped as well as old rollers were wore down considerably. I would also HIGHLY suggest you not try to remove shower frame screws as they very well will probably breakThese slides have what I call a larger square end which clips under the shower track, in a middle section which is used for length so the track piece has room to flex and the slide track end, this piece is the end which slides into the shower door frame.A few items I would recommend are;10 to 12 inch narrow flat blade screwdriverSmall hammerMid size pair of pliersMid size needle nose pliersA sturdy small piece of woodSmall fileWD40 with spray stemPaper towelsA large screwdriver with at least about a one-half inch wide tip, if you chose, but I would suggest you find a piece of tapered wood which tapers from about one half inch to three quarters inch.Old tooth brush for cleaning inside of shower door and the shower door trackLeft one of the doors of the track, now while supporting the door use the 10 to 12 inch narrow flat blade screwdriver wedge the tip down between the square plastic piece and the lower track frame, press down, now change shower door sides and repeat.Take door out and lay on edge, spray WD40 and use the tooth brush and paper towels to clean track, clean t he lower shower door track inside the shower as well with WD40 and toothbrush.NOTE: you only need about one-eight inch wider gap to insert slides . Now your choice is either to insert the screw driver with the half-inch tip about midway of the shower door and twist it to spread the doors apart, SLIGHTLY or use the tapered piece of wood with the small hammer. You only need only a small amount spread open as the plastic slide is only about three quarters of an inch long which has to be inserted. NOTE if you spread a part with the screwdriver you may develop a burr as I did which prevented the new slide from sliding in, so I had to use the small file and remove the burr.But first take the small piece of wood and the hammer and gently tap the old slide down to the gap for removal. If you use a screw driver instead of the wood you can cut the old plastic slide, it is no big deal, but if you do this when inserting the new slide you may ruin it.Take you new slide and insert it into t he gap there is a very small ridge which locks this slide onto the frame, do the other end, gently squeeze frame back together if needed, I did not need to do thisChange out the old rollers, hang door up on roller guide, then reach down and press the square end of plastic slide under lower shower guide rail.

VERY small but solid
These are tiny - smaller than they seem from the images so double check the measurements before ordering. It seems like they are made for a lightweight shower door or one that is substantially supported by other means.We could not use these because we have a heavy glass tub enclosure door with a 3/8" channel in the bottom and the guide needs to hold the door from swinging outward.However, they are solid material and economical. The seller was very helpful about providing a refund.

No instructions come with sliders
Manufacturer offers instructions on removal of slider from door. Not real clear. After trying to remove old sliders I found it is impossible to remove unless door is removed and laid on flat surface. Even then it is hard to remove them and I found the only way I could get the new sliders in the groove was to remove the screw at bottom end of each door frame and then insert the sliders that way. It was not easy, at least for me. Bottom line take a photo before removing the old sliders to make sure you gat the new ones installed correctly. They do work.

Perfect!
Some friends of ours had an accident with their shower doors and had to have the bottom replaced and this fit the bill. My husband put them in for them and them & now they don’t have to buy a new shower door.

Nice replacement to get that shower door working like new
I don't think anyone is going to get excited about buying these, but they were a perfect fit and exact replacement for the ones on our shower door. This was a pretty standard, builder-grade shower door on a home built around 2000. Get em, clean the door and track, pop these in place, and your door should slide smoothly again.

Too expensive, installation a challenge, good replacement however
Too expensive for what you get. Couldn't find any other suppliers however, so its a simple case of supply/demand pricing. Be advised that this package is only for a set of two, enough for one shower sliding door. One clip will work per door, but the door is a bit "wiggly" on the end without a clip. I'm leaving it as is with only one, works OK. I'm too cheap to spend another $18 for another set.As far as the installation, the biggest challenge had to do with cleaning up the old crusty calcium(?) buildup on the bottom rails and removing what was left of the old clip. You'll need to remove the corner frame screw and separate the corner by prying with a screwdriver. Be careful not to pry against the glass. The frame only needs to be opened up by about 1/4" to allow the old clip to slide out the end of the frame channel and to reinsert the new clip. Once the new clip is slid into place, it will stay in place when the corner frame screw is replaced and tightened.Good luck!

What's Most Important to Know
This product was difficult to install the first go-round. However, it was a piece of cake after that point. My shower doors are working in great fashion now. The only tool I needed was a small screwdriver.
