Default Stuck in the Shower

My coach has the flat shower door as opposed to the newer models with the curved shower doors. For the past two years, my wife has complained from time to time about the shower door 'sticking' when she opened and closed it. Last night it really 'stuck'. She couldn't get out of the shower. I could tell it was hanging close to the floor so I had her sit on the shower seat and push with her foot on the bottom of the shower door near the hinge. That worked. Now to fix the problem.

I can't believe how easy a problem this was to solve and that I had not addressed it in two years. On the inside (shower side) of the door, there are three small screws in the 'trim' piece between the wall and the door hinge. The 'trim piece' is actually a brass U channel. The door is hinged to another U channel that slides inside the 'trim' piece that is mounted to the wall. Remove those three screws and you can move the door up, down, left or right or remove it completely. I found that the holes were now somewhat oblong rather than round due to the weight of the door and the continued movement as the coach traveled. The weight of the door was slowly causing it to move toward the opposite door jam.

I lowered the door about 1/16th inch to be sure I didn't hit the old hole, moved the door back into the C channel about 3/32nd of an inch, redrilled the holes with a 7/64th drill bit to make sure it was a nice tight fit and reinstalled the screws. Issue resolved. Door opens and closes like new. No rubbing, no dragging. It took me longer to get the drill and bits out of the bays than to fix the problem.
