Yes. Made did the same thing. Get a tube of clear silicon and silicon the bottom outside of the track.

Doesn't work, I have already tried that. What happens is the door will flex some going down the road and the door track will go up or down and then shower will leak

Then I don't know. Mine leaked and I siliconed it back in February and it has not leaked since.
Good luck let me know what the outcome is.

I called Cedar Creek and was told that would pay for the fix. I asked about drilling into the fiberglass to hold the track down but was told it might crack the fiberglass, they told me to let the dealer fix it, camper is still under warranty. The track is somehow going to have to be made not to move

I could not agree more with a dealer fix for WATER coming from any place.
ESPECIALLY under warranty!

Exception of course would be simply a poor seal on the track as previous poster had. Yours obviously is more than that. Good luck.

If you got a good dealer than it will get fixed right. Later RJD

This is something that I bet everyone checks for and would be very interested to know what the dealer does to fix it. If they will tell you, might be one of those top secret repairs. LOL

Spock,
Had the same problem...your leak is probably two-fold like mine was...
Mine was leaking under the aluminum track because CC used no sealant at all under or on sides of this track. Also, the little oblong drain holes in the track sections are too small to drain the water volume that flows down the outer-most glass panel into the outer-most track section, and it will actually flow under the bottom of the glass panel and over the 1/2" aluminum barrier wall onto the floor. I discovered this after I resealed as described below...

To seal it right entails disassembling the entire shower door/frame to remove the bottom aluminum track, because the side frames interlock with the bottom. I cleaned the area with alcohol, used masking tape on each side of the fiberglass where the bottom track sits, then used clear RV sealant (silicone won't stick as well) under the track and side frames, then in the inside of bottom track at the corners where it intersects with the side frames. Have bounced around for ~5K miles and no leaks noted.

I fixed the drainage problem by drilling 4 additional 1/2" holes from the inside of shower through the first 3 barrier walls, along the very bottom of the track in the 12" long area where the outermost glass panel hangs.

Hope this helps.
