Shower seal woes.

Hi Nick, actually the photo here was only regarding the seal strip, & which way round it goes. Im still guessing on this tbh/ there seems no consensus.

 

The pic was taken -after- I have removed my silicone from the chrome section & cleaned this area. Then I plan to redo this silicone. I fitted the door. It sits flat upon the bath top.

 

So prior to this, the silicone here was decent & no sign that the water was emerging from A) under this chrome section, & B) under the round chrome hinge base either. Because my silicone here was good, firm, & went all the way from wall, out along the chrome section, onward to the base of the round hinge base too, up to where my door opens to maximum ( the sink preventing it opening further).

 

So the water has got through either/ &/or: over the top of my silicone barrier here at the chrome section, @ the join of the placcy strip to the door's round chrome hinge base, @ the placcy strip itself possibly being mishapen by the door opening & closing, over time, over the bath edge.

 

I'm sure I've ruled out it escaping from behind bath to the wall & out somehow, at the (lowest part) of the chrome section (ie underneath it), & underneath the round chrome door hinge part. 

Thanks, I can see the residual silicone upon closer inspection. Glad to hear.
