shower leak

Yahoo Message Number: 109134
Thinking of replacing the ceramic in our bath area. but first have to fix a chronic leak on the shower door. It is leaking on the hinge side bottom. There is a rubber seal there but stops where the door goes over the threshold. Does anyone have an idea besides replacing the shower door. I have removed the entire glass unit an sealed and replaced but it had no effect on the leak.

The seal under the shower door may have been installed backward. If you have the star bead at the top as I do, you can pull the seal out and reverse it so the seal is on the proper angle. The seal must reach past the threshold.
If your old seal is damaged, I found a replacement at Lowes and ebay. They come rolled up and you may have to soak it in warm water for a while then weight it with a straight edge to get the perfect fit. Also, you may have to use that straight edge to cut the perfect width.

Good Luck
