Uneven Wall/Shower door install

I've just installed sliding frameless shower doors; however, they are extremely uneven. I've adjusted the door pivots as far as they can go & yet the doors to do not close completely.

I've raised the right side of the top rail almost a full inch to get them aligned, but, now the bottom of the doors are too high from the bottom of the frame.

Do I have to cut the left side wall rail to adjust for the 1"?

Are the threshold and the top rail parallel to each other? Is one out or level and the other is level? There are usually adjustments that are made to the rollers on the doors themselves. I usually adjust so that they are perfect relative to the walls and if there is a discrepancy it is hidden in the overlap of the door. What is the brand and style of the door so that I can look it up and follow up a little better for you.

Brand is Sterling...I've adjusted the rollers as far as I can. I'm going to assume that the threshold isn't level I needed to raise the right side of the top rail 1' to attain level for it.

How about some more information.... Pictures of the install, a model number in addition to the name Sterling. Something is out of kilter and without some more info, we aren't going to be of much more help. http://www.doityourself.com/forum/el...-pictures.html

Give us a mix of close ups and wide shots and be as descriptive as possible.
