Hi,
I’ve bought and installed a shower screen with a small fixed panel and a hinged, swinging door. Installation was fine and everything seemed to be in as expected. The problem is that the hinge mechanism seems to leak – if water hits the hinge directly then it runs underneath the hinge (but inside the mechanism) and then out the other side and onto the floor. I can’t seal up the hinge area where the water gets in as it needs to be free to be able to move with the door. Hopefully the photographs make it a bit more obvious but has anyone come across this before? It seems like a design fault but perhaps I’ve missed something obvious? I can’t for the life of me work out how to fix this!
This is the actual screen but the photos hopefully show a bit more detail:

Thanks for any help that you can offer!
This is the screen:
This is the inside of the hinge:
This is the outside, where water runs out from:
Thanks!
James.
