We need the width of the base and height of the pile. We'd also like to see a clear photo of the end profile of the part to make out the shape of the base as well.

Paul, hopefully the attached pictures will give you a better idea as to how the sweep slides into the bottom of the shower door. The pile on the sweep measures 1/2 inch high. The space that the sweep slides into is 1/8 inch.

Please let me know if you need any additional information.

Thank you, Terry

Thanks! This is indeed helpful, but we're still at a loss as to what may replace this. It looks like the base is round; I was hoping it was a square or diamond. I'm afraid we haven't been able to find anything with this design.

It's very strange for a shower door to use wool pile in the first place. I feel like it would be a magnet for mildew. You may want to consider using a vinyl or rubber sweep instead of trying to find this particular pile. We even have one that may be worth considering. See our 10-320, which also has a round base with a 3/32" diameter. Could you possibly use this as a substitute?

Hi Paul, thank you for your recommendation on the shower door sweep. I have placed an order for this part. It will most likely work better as the pile on the existing sweep is starting to fray after only 2 years.

Again, many thanks for your help. Have a great day.
