Microlite shower door problems...

Attached are photos of the bottom edge of the shower door gap on my 2015 Microlite. The trailer is parked on a level pad beside my carport.



As you can see the gap on the hinge side is so large that the gasket barely contacts the top of the frame. But edge on the left hand side of the door sits right on top of the frame.

In fact it actually droops down so much that I have to pick up on the door in order to get it to close. This tightness and scraping has ruined the gasket on that end.


Does anyone know of an adjustment to help with this?

Also, there's a noticeable difference in the gap between the fridge and the slide unit when it's extended. It's much closer at the top near the ceiling than near the floor.

Is there any sort of an adjustment for this or should I not even be concerned since it does not create any problems or clearance issues when operating the slide?

By the way....everyone wish us luck and keep us in your prayers. We're leaving next week for our first extended trip out west. If all goes well we're headed to Montana for a few weeks.

Thanks in advance for any info or help.

Shower: I have a similar issue. Pushing on the frame aligns everything. You just have to figure out what you want to use to apply constant pressure, keeping the frame aligned. Mine is not too bad so I have yet to fix it.

Is it possible the doors are on upside down?

The door logo is upside down, is it possible they installed it incorrectly? We are picking up our flagstaff this week, I'll be sure to check the shower door, thanks for the heads up
