Leaking Sliding Glass Door Track

Then remove any wood trim around the door.

Leaking sliding glass door track.

A sliding glass door is no better than the frame into which it is placed. If you have a problem with water leaking it will usually be on the bottom track threshold of the non stationary door. Have a reputable sliding door contractor remove the door if it has not been damaged build a new frame and reinstall the door. Aim a garden water hose with a sprayer set on mist or low at the outside of the sliding door.

If a frame is crooked water can leak into the gaps between door and frame. My advice is to carefully remove the aluminum trim that s covering the wood trim that surrounds the sliding patio door. Check to see which door moves and which one is the stationary. Spray the door and look for the leak location.

This seal simply acts as a barrier that fills the gap between the two panes and allows the water to drain back into the shower instead of escaping. Look for the hole in the door over the tracks or on the inside of the door. If the door is pulled over the debris the debris may be enough to lift the door in the track. Damage to the door itself.

These seals are usually installed with an adhesive that keeps them in place. Small stones and debris from shoes can accumulate in the sliding glass channels. If you cannot re create the leak problem inspect the interior of the door for stains or rust. Spray lubricant into the hole on the edge of the door.

If water is leaking through a shower door where two panes of glass meet a seal should be installed. To slide the heavy doors along the metal frames the doors use metal or plastic rollers. Place the straw attached to the lubricant into the hole and press the trigger.
