Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation. Refer to the included detailed installation instructions for specific diagrams and hardware identification.
- Measure and Prepare: Ensure your shower opening width is between 44 and 48 inches. The top and bottom horizontal rails can be cut up to 4 inches to fit your specific size. A minimum threshold depth of 2 3/8 inches (60mm) is required for installation.
- Install Wall Profiles: Secure the vertical wall profiles to the shower walls according to the instructions, ensuring they are plumb and level.
- Assemble Rails: Attach the top and bottom horizontal rails to the wall profiles.
- Install Glass Panels: Carefully place the tempered glass panels into the top and bottom rails. The double sliding design allows both doors to slide.
- Attach Rollers and Guides: Install the rollers and guides to ensure smooth operation of the sliding doors. Oudbo Molartte shower door rollers undergo over 100,000 push-pull tests for durability and stability.
- Install Handles: Attach the two towel bars/handles to the glass panels. These handles are convenient for hanging clothes and towels.
- Apply Sealing Strips: Install the sealing strips along the bottom and sides of the glass panels to prevent water leakage.
- Seal with Caulk: Apply silicone caulk to all seams and joints as instructed to ensure a watertight seal.

Operation
The Oudbo Molartte shower door features a double sliding design, allowing both glass panels to move independently. This provides flexibility for entry and exit from either the right or left side of the shower enclosure.
- To open the door, gently slide either panel along the top and bottom tracks.
- To close the door, slide the panels back until they meet in the center or against the wall profile.
- The integrated towel bars on each panel can be used to hang towels or clothing.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your shower door.
- Glass Cleaning: The tempered glass features GlassShield Coating Technology, which makes it easy to clean and reduces cleaning time by up to 90%. Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive glass cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could damage the coating.
- Frame and Hardware: Clean the matte black aluminum and stainless steel components with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish.
- Tracks and Rollers: Periodically clean the top and bottom tracks to remove any soap scum or debris that could impede smooth sliding. Check rollers for smooth operation and clean if necessary.
- Sealing Strips: Inspect sealing strips regularly for wear and tear. Replace if they become damaged to maintain a watertight seal.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your shower door, refer to the following common solutions:
- Door not sliding smoothly: Check the top and bottom tracks for debris or obstructions. Clean the tracks and rollers. Ensure rollers are properly aligned.
- Water leakage: Inspect all sealing strips for proper placement and damage. Reapply silicone caulk to any gaps or seams that may have opened. Ensure the shower threshold meets the minimum depth requirement.
- Glass appears cloudy or stained: Use a specialized glass cleaner for shower doors with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, a vinegar and water solution can be effective. Ensure the GlassShield coating is not damaged by harsh chemicals.
- Loose hardware: Periodically check all screws and fasteners and tighten them if necessary. Do not overtighten.
