It might still be covered my glass door is guaranteed for a year. Your house cold be shifting due to construction, weather changes, drought etc. good luck.

Thanks roarah. The glass co. did say I had a 1 year warranty, even if I forced the door open or shut and shattered it. But today they said (1) they refuse to adjust the fasteners again (as they did before); and (2) the only option is to shave the door 1/16", at my risk (it could shatter in their machine).

I don't get how if I forced the door open and shattered it, its covered by the 1 year warranty, but not in this case.

I'm hoping my GC steps up to fix it (he hired the glass co., not me). I've asked him to contact the glass co.

I posted here because I was hoping it was somewhat common.

If there's going to be alot of settling, and we do shave the door down, then in the winter won't the walls recede - leaving too large a gap at the door and water will get onto the bathroom floor? Ugh.

Thanks, Joseph. I filled in the GC - fingers crossed he takes it from here.

I was just hoping to hear from others that this isn't unusual - to have to adjust the door several times.

This is a perfect learning opportunity for all the folks who want to GC themselves and "save money". Had you hired this glass sub directly, he'd be blowing you off; after all you're only one job. When the GC calls him and the GC has thrown him tens of thousands of dollars worth of work this year, he's got a big problem. Eat this and keep the work flowing, or screw the GC and you and terminate the relationship. Tough call; one that you can't make him make.

The GC and the sub may have to work out framing and/or other details that prevent or reduce this in the future, but that's not your problem.

Not only that but the only contact should be between the GC and the Glass Co.. As Joseph stated he is the one with the leverage and being as he hired him it should be on him as the GC to get the issue resolved. You hired the GC not the glass co..

I went to an open house a while back and the master bathroom had the same issue. So you're not the only one.

Good luck.

Thanks for the hand holding everyone!

Let us know how it works out and if they break the glass and what resolution you get.

Follow up (I'm OP):

GC contacted the lead guy (owner?) of glass co., and within days they were at my house to discuss. They said the door's vertical sweep (which closes to the fixed glass 1/2 panel - see pic) could be replaced with a thinner one. And some glass cos. don't even put a sweep there.

They said to totally disregard everything the receptionist said - she had no business diagnosing the problem.

The thinner sweep would only be the top half of the door. But we're thinking your eye won't notice that the bottom half has a thicker sweep because there's a 1/2 wall, tiled, there.

Get this: The day they showed up the door worked again (pivoted both in and out of the shower)! It was colder - wildly guessing the walls are expanding in heat, or maybe its just a stiff sweep problem (they didn't opine as to cause). Glass co. owner gave me his text and direct dial/vm, and said he'll install a thinner sweep whenever - i.e., if I want, I can wait until its hot again.

The only thing I find annoying is that, well, I paid about $3,900 with tax for the glass (HCOL area), and seems I should have a door that fits with the usual sweep. And I'm concerned that if we go with the thinner sweep, maybe the walls will contract when it cold again. But I guess I would rather be done with this and, if it does leak in the winter, deal with that problem then. My 1 year warranty is up Dec. 2017.

If he had used a smaller sweep from the beginning would you have known? He seems willing to satisfy you and at the end of the day that is what is important.
