Sleeve [R] and the Back Plate Gasket [S] are to the outside.  The 

Back Plate Gasket has the large holes.  Place a Mid Plate Gasket 

[T] and the Mid Plate [U] on the inside of the glass and secure 

the Roller Plate [V] to the entire assembly with the Roller Screws 

[W].  Set aside the Anti-Jump [X] piece and Anti-Jump Screws [Y] 

until after the door has been mounted to the header Bar.  Install 

your handle option at this time.  Place the Door Glass inside the 

shower enclosure with the Rollers facing out and the handle so that 

it is on the side of the enclosure that the door will strike against.  

CAUTION:

  Make sure that you set the Door Glass on something 

so that the glass and/or the floor of the enclosure are not damaged.  

Cardboard packing material works fine.
