    New sliding shower door leaking underneath the jam.
    Hi, we had an old 3 glass sliding shower stall doors in our bathroom, that would always leak to the outside of the bottom shower jam in one corner. Well, the showerdoor was old and one side was jammed in, another piece of the upper jam broken, so we decided instead of re-caulking the old door, we will buy a new one and caulk that one in correctly.
    So we did - we thought. The new door are in and it is completely caulked from the inside along the walls and along the bottom jam and indide the jam on both side walls. But there is again water sieping out from underneath the bottom jam in that sam corner. I can't find the entrance of the water, since I went again one more time around with clear silicone . I suspected ambe the showerpan is not 100 % level and comes in from further away and since water tries to find the easiest way to escape it end s up in that same corner..
    Does anybody could help me ?

    Thanks, Caroline

    The water can also hit the glass door and drop down into the track. Once in the track it can run to the low end and come out of the track but appear to come from under the track. Check the end where the floor track meets the wall trim.
