Adjusting shower door

Is there any information about adjusting a shower door in a 5er? I have looked all over the frame of the door to see if there was any kind of adjustment anywhere and can't find any way to adjust the door and it is getting hard to open and shut. Is there any where I can go to look for information? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone, I didn't think of removing the door.

To raise my door I had to add a couple very small washers to the top screw. I will say it did not really seem to help much, but the door did work for awhile. I fact that is on my sping fix it project for this year.

Check the rollers on the top of the door, you can usually lift the door up off the rollers and move the door bottom towards the inside of the shower. then look at where the rollers are mounted to the door and see if there is a slot on a 45 degree angle. If there is, loosen the nut on the rollers slightly and slide the roller down, (this will raise the door when it is reinstalled) and retighten the nut, Repeat for both rollers and then rehang the door and test. Repeat as needed to get door level and w1th proper clearance at the bottom

The clearance is usually achieved by the nylon bushing that the door swivels on. It may be worn down, causing the door to drag on the frame.

That said the door needs to be squared up when it's installed. If this was not done then you are looking at a fix like daamax suggests.

Obviously none of my experience may apply to your trailer. That said, in my Jayco the shower door began to drag a bit at the bottom. The problem was repaired under warranty. The dealer said there was no way to adjust the shower door, and had to reinstall the entire shower framing using a slight aluminum wedge on one side to raise the door up. I was satisfied with how it looked and it solved the problem.
There's lots of advice and information in forums...
sometimes it is correct.
