Step 6 · Reinstall the Cover Plate

Align the overflow cover plate with the screw holes in the overflow drain assembly. Insert the screws and tighten them by hand first to ensure they are not cross-threaded. Then, use your screwdriver to tighten them snugly. Alternate between the two screws, tightening each one a little at a time to ensure even pressure. Stop when the plate is flush and secure against the tub wall. Do not overtighten.
