Custom RV Shower Door Installation Help & Replacement Parts

Asked by DavidAsked on August 25, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

I received my custom RV shower door but there were no installation instructions included. A plastic circle part of the door guide was broken off and loose in the box. Since the guides are riveted on, how can I get this fixed? Also, the door is assembled causing water to run down the inside of the door and outside the shower. Can this be fixed by reversing the plastic end caps and the door handle? I need guidance on how to properly configure the door for installation.

Expert Answer

The broken round plastic piece and water-flow description do not identify an exact replacement part or establish that reversing the end caps and handle is an approved repair. First confirm the door manufacturer, model, revision and opening orientation. Keep the loose piece and document its original location, the complete rail/cartridge layout and the damaged attachment before altering the assembly.

If this is an Irvine Slow-Roll shower screen, the manufacturer's installation sheet identifies the cartridge, bottom track, side rail, upper track and round leadrail carrier. It places the carrier in the back of the top track and includes sealing steps. It does not establish that the unidentified broken piece is a particular catalog glide, or approve reversing any handle or end cap to solve this reported water path. Use the sheet only after confirming that it applies to the supplied door.

The Irvine shower-door identification and parts guide distinguishes current glide, rivet, rail, handle and end-cap references. A shared finish, round feature or riveted attachment is not enough to select the replacement. Handle and end-cap location/version mappings remain unconfirmed; the part's position and attachment profile matter. Do not drill out rivets or swap parts solely on the old reply.

Have the manufacturer or a qualified RV shower-door installer review the exact model, damage, orientation and water path before installation changes or use of the damaged assembly. The old reply does not establish that instructions normally ship without the product, that a replacement has been approved or sent, or that reversal will prevent leakage. No replacement shipment, easy-install promise or guaranteed repair is made here.
