Sliding shower door doesn't want to stay totally open
Hello!
I have 2 glass panels that cover the entrance to my shower. They're on the same tract (top and bottom) and one covers 50% the other covers the other 50%.
Here's my problem. One of the glass panels can slide all the way to the left and it stays to the left. The other glass panel, when we slide it to the right, will go all the way to the right. But once you let go of it it slides back about 2 inches...leaving a slight gap that water can splash through.
Any suggestions on how to tighten up that right panel?
Thank you!

Some "sliding" doors have wheels they run on. They are oft times adjustable up and down. If the rear (center) wheel is lower than the other one, it could shift the weight of the door making it roll back. Just one thing to check. The track may also not be level causing this. Good luck.

I took the door off and noticed that on each side it has 4 holes in a diagonal fashion. Lo behold on one side the wheel is in the bottom hole but on the other side it's on the 3rd hole. Any suggestions on how to get these wheels out? I've tried with a screwdriver and WD40 that's not loosing the nut.

May have to just soak and let it sit. You can also try tightening them first. Sometimes this breaks them loose. Good luck.

Update: Got tired of waiting. Tried tightening them too. Decided to break the plastic wheel to get to the nut. Success! Now just need to get a replacement wheel, nut and bolt
