Framed Shower door question???

For years we have had a framed glass shower doors. Who knows why, but for some reason I am having a hard time getting it adjusted correctly as there is a space at the bottom which sometimes allows water to seep out and go to the floor. Does anybody know of anything that is made that would slip on the existing bottom of the door to just give it a closer connection to the tub? Thanks

Not going to happen.
Bottom rail should have been set in a bed of silicone caulking.
Sure the two drain holes are not plugged up on the ends?
Siliconed caulked the inside edges after cleaning?

You may be able to adjust the top rollers to lower the doors enough to prevent the splash from getting past the bottom rail. To Joe's point, are you sure it isn't the caulking (or lack there of) that is causing water to get outside the door? The problem with bottom seals is they probably won't clear the door guide that keeps everything aligned and centered.

Maybe I am stating the incorrect door kind. There is a frame around the glass doors, but no track that it slides on. The doors are connected on the side wall and swing in and out. When I said framed, I was thinking that the glass is framed..

May need to include a picture so we can better see what you are describing. Usually, on a tub you have sliding glass doors. Hinged doors on a tub are a new animal that I have not dealt with.
