    Shower door slides open
    I have a glass frameless sliding shower door (2 doors) with a metal track at the bottom, open to the inside with a guide at the center. One of the doors has developed an equilibrium point open about one inch rather than in the closed position. The clamps with rollers at the top of the door are sealed, so it is preferable not to remove them. Does anyone have any ideas on a simple way to get the door to stay closed given that we don't want to seal it to the wall. In other words we'd like to be able to keep using the door but have it stay in the closed position while taking a shower.
    Thanks.

    I was surprised to rea "clamps with rollers at the top of the door are sealed," this is not the case with the ones I have installed. The rollers and attaching plates are never sealed because they eventually need replacement. In you situation I would carefully inspect that top track for a bend that was not always there and the bend can be anywhere along the track not just at the end.
