Abstract
A shower door assembly is provided with a track with a cavity, and an opening providing access to a channel in the cavity that provides a track guide for receipt of the pair of wheels. A shower door pane is provided with a pair of wheels mounted for rotation upon the shower door pane. Each of the pair of wheels is sized to be received in the channel for translation along the track. A vertical clearance of each of the pair of wheels within the cavity is less than a depth of the channel to prevent removal of the pair of wheels from the track while in a vertical orientation, and to permit the pair of wheels to be removed in an angled orientation.
