Shower door not even

We noticed that there was a piece of plastic hanging loose on the bottom of the shower door and the door was extremely hard to close. I thought no problem, I'll just get a new sweep & replace it. Got the new one & replaced it. The door was still hard to close. Then I noticed that on the hinge side of the door there was from 1/2-3/4" gap, while on the other side of the door, it's dragging. Probably what caused the plastic sweep to come apart. I looked at the hinges, and there is a screw at the top & bottom of the door apparently to adjust the hinges. I loosened them, & tried to adjust the door, and it didn't seem like anything happened. I searched in past posts (all 9 pages) & didn't really find anything that would apply. Before I used too much force & possibly break something I thought I'd check with the experts on here to maybe get some ideas. We've got a 2010 Elk Ridge 27RLSS.

Roy!!!

How funny, I discovered the exact same problem recently! I took the sweep from the top of the door, and put it on the bottom. I could not see how to adjust the door, but did notice that the top hinge was slightly moved out of place and loose. I pushed on it, and it seemed to move back into place, but I don't know how to tighten it.

When mine got to be a problem, I noticed that the plastic parts that the door hinge sits in had some up and down play.
I raised the lower plastic hinge seat and put some shims under it.
That raised the door and it works good now.
Roy, I will be going past your place tomorrow. If you want I can stop in and show you what I did.

Peace
Dave

Jim, I talked to him a while ago & he told me how he fixed his. As far as posting photos goes, I don't know what's going on. I've posted them on here before, even a couple of videos. Haven't been able to post any since last summer when we were in Wyoming. At first I thought maybe it was just the wifi at the library, but tried after we got home & still couldn't. I don't know if it's changing from a Windows computer to a Mac, or what. Don't think it would make any difference, Windows or Mac...but. It will let me go to where they are supposed to be uploading, but after 30-45 min. I lose patience & quit.

Sounds like a plan! I need all the help I can get! Oops, did I just open another can of worms?

I had the same pictures posting problem with Internet Explorer. Switched to Firefox and that solved the never ending posting problem for me.
