6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your UNIKOO shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and a non-abrasive glass cleaner. For best results, wipe down the glass after each use to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that can scratch the glass or damage protective coatings.
- Hardware Cleaning: Clean stainless steel components with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or acid, as these can damage the finish.
- Seals: Periodically check the PVC sealant strips for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain a watertight enclosure.
- Rollers and Track: Keep the top track and rollers free of debris and buildup to ensure smooth operation. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the rollers if they become stiff.

7. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your shower door.
- Door Not Sliding Smoothly:
Possible Cause: Debris in the top track or worn rollers.
Solution: Clean the top track thoroughly. Inspect rollers for damage and replace if necessary. A small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the rollers. - Water Leakage:
Possible Cause: Improperly applied sealant, damaged PVC strips, or unlevel installation.
Solution: Check all silicone seals and reapply if gaps are found. Inspect and replace damaged PVC strips. Verify the shower base/curb and door frame are level and plumb. - Door Feels Loose/Wobbly:
Possible Cause: Loose mounting hardware.
Solution: Carefully inspect all mounting screws and tighten them. Ensure the anti-jump pins are correctly engaged in the top track. - Glass Scratches:
Possible Cause: Abrasive cleaning materials or contact with sharp objects.
