Has anyone disassembled the 'accordion' shower curtain enclosure on their rig? Mine leaks around the front lower corner. It has leaked from the factory, and still leaks after a feeble attempt at a warranty repair. The dealer said on the work order that they disassembled it and resealed, but there is no evidence that they did. All that was apparent was a poor job of recaulking. I hate taking my things in for someone else to work on. I'd rather do it myself!

I have had mine leak between the tub wall and the pleated shower curtain mount. Caulked this and no more problem there. You might also want to check that the water isn't splashing down and back out where the pleated shower curtain sits in the rail. Mine did this, apparently the pleated door wasn't set deep enough into the track. Just put up a regualr shower curtain and all my problems went away.

Our leaked also at both ends. I caulked around the inside and outside edges. I also caulked the inside of the ends. The side the shower curtain is attached you can pull the curtain back enough so you can caulk the inside seams. You might want to caulk up the wall of the inside seams on both ends also. That should take care of your problem.
