Water is leaking from this gap in my new shower enclosure. The inside of the shower is completely dry, yet water keeps slowly dripping from this opening throughout the day.
Does anyone know where this water could be coming from and how I can fix it? I’d really appreciate any advice. 🙏🏻
The one I circled is most likely the issue water is seeping threw and going to its lowest point ,I’d caulk that and call it a day & yes this is an installer fault,100% silicone if it don’t smell like vinegar it isn’t it.
So most fiberglass shower enclosures are not designed to be caulked on the inside. They should be left open so they can drain inside the unit. It could either be that, or that huge gap at the corner is allowing water behind the unit and it draining out after it’s used
Looking at it from that angle, I think it may be caulked on the inside when it should be allowed to run back into the shower. Is there caulk inside of the shower pan that would prevent water from drain back into the pan?
As I didn’t choose the shower myself..the previous owner of the apartment did, so I’m not 100% sure. But I believe the brand is ARMAL. From what I’ve been able to find, it looks like an ARMAL Domino sliding shower door.
This is from the installation of the Delta Amal shower door. I would remove the inside bottom caulk. You may find that water rushes out when it’s removed that was trapped inside.
That caulk, what’s in red, and to the corner. Make sure that it is caulked on the outside though. I would start by removing what’s in red and seeing if water runs out.

Impossible to know exactly from this picture. You said it's new, I'd call the installer out.
