# How to Replace the Strip on the Bottom of a Frameless Shower Door
Frameless showers provide a sleek and modern look for your bathroom with glass doors that can swing in and out of the shower. The shower doors are equipped with a drip edge to help keep the water where it belongs, inside the shower. Additionally, the edge has a rubber strip or sweep located beneath it to seal the door. As you use your shower, over time, the strip on the bottom of the shower door can wear out and need replacing. You can easily replace the strip on the bottom of a frameless shower door in about an hour.
