    Sorry, I didn't even notice it was you who posted that question. Hi John. Shower door seals are pretty much propritory for each manufacturer. If it was a Kohler Sterling you would call Sterling Customer Care Center at 1-800-STERLING (1-800-783-7546) in the U.S. or 001-877-680-1310 in Mexico. Some larger HD and Lowe's do stock parts so call around.

    You are desperate, right? Try a glass place, some build showers. Might have something or might be able to identify.

    Hi Harold/Bob,

    I tried some glass places here in my area and no luck for the hinge (seal) what they tells me to replace the whole door assembly which will cost me $350 to $500 which is way too much for a shower door.

    For the time being I did a temporary repair to it, cut the damage area about 4" and added 1/4" copper tubing as a spacer to the top side see the picture it works, I will replace it when I get it a new one from some where, Thanks.

    Regards,
    John
