Shower faucet leak

Asked Nov 2, 2007, 08:46 AM — 1 Answer
My shower handle keeps slipping past the stop, therefore causing the faucet to continually leak. How can I stop this. I have taken the cap off the handle and tightened the screw to the off position, but it keeps slipping back. Does the screw need to be replaced?
Thank you

Replace the handle, do not use a universal fit handle
