I'm planning on installing sliding glass shower doors on our fiberglass surround shower/tub and I'm looking for any turorials or instructional sites that can help me with the small details (so I don't miss any steps & end up w/a leak)...anyone have any suggestions?

Generally the instructions that come with the particular door you purchase will be the most detail you will need. However, a few tips won't hurt. Don't use caulk. Use a product such as GE Silicone II. Cut the tip as small as you can in order to lay a good bead. Push the tip, don't pull it (which feels natural). Don't use the shower for 2 days after you finish the job, in order to give the silicone time to cure out. If you get involved and need help, post back. We're here.

I agree I found the hard way the instructions are the best way to go. I alsmost lost my mind trying it all myself.
