A customer has a glass shower enclosure. The door opens out and closes
against a plastic strip. The plastic strip is glued onto the glass with
what looks like, but probably isn't, Rubber Cement. Part of the stop has
come loose, and needs to be reattached. This would mean removing the no
longer working "rubber cement" then putting new on, and maybe clamping the
stop in place.

Does anyone know what is used to glue the plastic to the glass. It's
possible it's just clear caulk, but I'm not entirely sure it it. I was
thinking it was something specific to the shower stall/glass industry.

Can you just trash the old strip and replace it with stick-on clear
plastic bumpers? They come in all sizes and certainly wouldn't be very
noticeable.


The door doesn't close against the fixed pane, it closes into the opening,
and the stop, which is glued onto the fixed pane, keeps it from moving
through the opening, much like a stop in a normal doorway.
