Leaking Shower Door (Bottom Seal)

    Hi all.

    Looking for tips/suggestions.

    Shower door is fine, but the seal at the bottom seems to be the problem.

    Its an old enough door, probably 15years

    Water splash is naturally running down the glass door, but the water run-off then works its way back to the hinge side and then finds its way over the side of the bath.

    I'm looking to change the seal at the bottom to see if it will fix it. The seal does look damaged at the hinge end of the door.

    The seal itself looks like it might be very tricky to remove and harder to replace. Any tips with that?

    My concern is, worst case scenario, if I cant replace the seal, I'd need to replace the door.

    Many thanks.

    Those seals just slide out as far as I remember. Stick on a photo if you can

    Thanks. I may have got my thinking wrong. It "appears" to me that there is a permanent fixture at the base of the door, and slotted within that is the plastic sweep that needs to be replaced.

    Edit: I just removed the intenal plastic sweep from the permanent plastic fitting at bottom of door. Off to Homebase. I hope its not too old a fitting to get a replacement.
