I am installing a Sterling bypass shower door on a Maax 48" fiberglass base. The bottom track has a 1/4" + gap between the pan and the aluminum (track). The sides of the pan are flat (not rounded) and the track sits directly on the fiberglass at both ends. The door installation instructions say to file or grind the aluminum to eliminate gaps, but this would be a LOT of skilled grinding at both ends to eliminate a 1/4" gap.
The track is flexible enough that I think I could weight it down and get silicone to hold it down, but I'm afraid that would impact the operation of the door (binding, wont stay closed). Another option would be to get some type of shim/spacer to support the center of the track and use white silicone to seal/hide the gap.
Unfortunately, the pan is plumbed and tiled-in. Ripping it out isn't really an option at this point. Short of getting a shower curtain, any ideas?
I was trying to get the door installed before the weekend as I have guests coming. All input and ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance.
