Leaking shower screen over bath

I recently bought a nearly new shower screen to sit over the bath. Looked unused, and fitted to wall without any trouble.
Bought a slightly deeper flexible seal to ensure no leakage. Siliconed all around the frame, and at the base.
Turned on shower and water poured out through a gap where the screen hinges like a waterfall.

How am i going to cure this? I am a ta loss.
Pics attached which I hope will help.
Unlikley, but does anyone know who makes this type or has anyone else had a similar problem with one like this?
 
Does it leak underneath the seal or through the wee gap between the seal and the bottom of the hinge?
If it's the latter then trim the seal holder back about 5 mm, the part of the seal where it grips onto the glass leaving a 'tail' of the bottom part of the seal, push the seal along so the tail sits tight against the hinge bottom.
