It doesn't come across in photos too well, but this is a sheet of a plastic type material from the local home center. Since the toilet is raised, the door could not go all the way to the floor so I attached a piece of "Sport Nylon" material to the bottom, it moves up and out of the way as you open the door and hangs down when closed.







I had to move the shower curtain track closer to the door/wall and hung the door from "S" hooks on the original rollers.

Very cool! You must have alot of time on your hands, but I sure appreciate all the ideas. I've copied the soap basket in the shower, added a tapered one above the main entry door, added an LCD TV on a wall mount, moved the spice rack up (PIA) and put a small micrwave on the counter under it.
Keep the ideas coming!!!

I like it, and my bathroom is very similar. I think that this modification would do me good. Nothing like wet shower curtain stuck to your buttocks.

Great modification. I have always disliked the plastic shower curtain supplied with our Lance.

Looks good spot. Have you tried it out yet? You must have the same weather we have. Not enough snow the play outside, and not warm enough to work outside, so you get the play in the shop

We have used the shower door many times and am very happy with the way it works.

A couple of changes were made, the first one being that when the material got wet it wicked upward and loosened the double sided tape. I ran a bead of super glue on the material along the bottom edge of the hard part of the door, this made it so it would not wick up.

The second adjustment was the track being screwed into the fiberglass was not strong enough, so I removed the bathroom door and track and drilled a couple of holes to gain access to the top of the shower stall.



I than inserted backing blocks (one in each hole)and mounted the track through the stall and into the blocks(with caulking).





Than reinstall the track, door & valance and the holes are invisible.
This shows the relationship of the holes and the track.
