When I ordered my Daybreak I upgraded the OEM door for a glass/aluminum door that has been a pain since new.

First of all, I think it opens the wrong way, making it hard to get in/out with the privacy doors closed or the potty room door open. Water drips out the bottom gap while the bottom drags on the frame---despite many tweaks by dealers.

Has anyone had success with aftermarket accordian doors or the polyester kind that nest into a roller on one side?

It's been so long now I don't remember what the standard shower door would have been had I not upgraded...maybe a curtain?

I ordered one from a local parts dealer. Paid about $100 for it. Simple to install using a hacksaw, screwdriver and a little silicone caulk. It appears flimsy and cheap, but works just fine and hasn't leaked in the year that I've had it.

Oz, I was wondering if you replaced the glass door that I have or something else? Expo

My husband replaced ours with a curved bar and we use a cloth shower curtain. A plastic curtain is chilly to the touch. He had to cut down the bar on both sides to maintain the curve in the middle. We love it.
