How can the shower bottom door seal be replaced ?

The thin plastic seal along the bottom of the shower door has come apart. Probably due to the summer heat in Arizona !

The seal seems very embedded in the door. Any suggestions as to how it can be removed and replaced ?

Are you sure the door isn't mis-aligned:

Me too, although I had to look very hard for any identification of the shower. On the latch ! Thanks very much. The door is perfectly aligned. The seal has just melted away. I sent away for some new ones. It gets hot in AZ in the summer !! Enough to crack and crumble the plastic lid of the bathroom vent lid ! (Another maintenance job !)

X2 more or less. We were able to replace the first failure with a T shaped strip from the local hardware store. It fell apart last winter, couldn't find a replacement. The new "T" shaped strips were curved on the top and wouldn't fit. Finally gave up and left it as is.

Mid October we set of for warmer climes and are now in southern Mexico. No more drips on the floor than when we had the strip in place. Perhaps even less.

If you can't find one that fits, try it without.

I went to ace hardware . They have stick on seals that you can trim to fit.

Some are "T" shaped and they slide out the end.
