Newly installed bath screen seal leaking

BrokenArrows

So I installed a new bath screen recently.
Its a movable screen with two hinges attached to the wall.

The screen came with two seals that you slide onto the glass. One for the wall edge and one for the bottom edge of the glass that sits against the bath.

Now the seal works fine except for where the two seals need to meet in the bottom corner where the bath meets the wall. Seems like a terrible design to me. How are two rubber seals on a moving screen supposed to create a water tight seal?

There is always going to be a little gap and when we have a shower there is always drips of water.

Anyone have a good solution to sealing the corner?

Can you push the seals tighter into the corner?

You could use some silicone on the inside of the hinge so it still opens when required but blocks the gap you have.
It is an easy diy job

Your local hardware will have ecverything you need

I can push it tighter but when the screen is used it gradually opens up and even when pushed tight its not sealed.

@Homebase Silicone is not going to help here.

Is the frame of the shower door aluminium?

Most pivot bath screens are useless and are not water resistant, never mind water tight.
Always problems as you described at the bottom corner where the seal meets the pivot point.
Presuming the unit has been installed correctly and the bath is perfectly level..
One solution is to fix a short piece of non ferrous material with tek7 on the bath from the tile and along the outer part of the screen frame, past the pivot point and couple of inches past the point where the seal meets the pivot.
This should help keep water that gets past that small gap in the seal and hopefully guide it back into the bath.
