Instructions have no words

I am installing a walk in enclosure for a low level shower tray and the advise in general is to silicon on the outside to allow water back in. However the profile I installed comes with a strip of wedge shaped translucent material that is wedged into the profile on the inside against the glass and further diagrams appear to show the silicon inside against the wall and outside against the shower tray.

There are no written words and the supplier is not responding. See diagram below.

Comments welcome

All siliconing in a shower is done on the outside, except for attaching the frame to the wall; here you run a bead up the frame before you tighten the screws. After tightening the screws, run the sharp 90 deg corner of your silicone profile tool down it to remove any excess. There should now be no silicone at all inside the shower.
Now go to the outside of the screen and run a full bead down the bottom 6 inches and all along the bottom.
( t.b.h if your siliconing is good, I always just run the full height of the frame. Especially if it is slightly round in profile and there’s a tiny gap - it just looks better )
TIP :- use some kind of plastic scraper to push that wedge shaped seal all the way in, you’d be surprised how far in it actually goes

I got the plastic seal flush to the profile it came with a plastic tool. Made a pinging noise in the profile as I dragged it along, think that was normal?

Appreciate your advise many thanks

One last thing…

On the return panel I have to swap the hinges around to make it right handed.
So do I have to flip the moving profile bar too?
Does the hinge cam lift from the bottom or the top?

Cheers

Good question re the cam lift
The last few I’ve fitted have come “ handed” with the hinges fixed - you have to specify whether Right or Left.

So the cam was in the top with the original line up so I swapped them and flipped the door seems to work

Just fitted mine , silicon behind wall bar, push in seal to inner glass at wall and silicon to outer bottom edge of glass.
Mine also suggests small amount of silicon to glass edge at wall .
