I just bought my first home with my wife, and we've noticed that our shower door doesn't have any kind of seal, which lets water leak underneath the sliding door during use. I'm looking for suggestions on how to best seal it to avoid this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, I totally forgot to add pictures of the setup, but you can check them out here: https://imgur.com/a/jIsETsk. I'm trying to respond to everyone, but I'm having some trouble with the site right now.

Quick question—do you have anything at the bottom of your door right now? We used a specific type of bottom seal that redirects the water back into the shower, but it can get moldy over time. The previous owners may have taken out whatever was there if anything at all!
You can just buy a seal for the bottom of the door; it’s a simple fix. Just make sure whatever you get fits your door properly!
Hey there! First off, check if the bottom of your shower door rides in a track or just sits on the sill. If there's no track, you might want to get some seals that can slide onto the glass. If there is a track, make sure it's properly caulked to the sill. Pictures would definitely help clarify the situation, though!
I hear you! Most glass shower doors have overlapping tracks on the bottom to help keep water in. You could look for some gasket options at local home improvement stores—there are plenty out there! If you could share a picture, it would give a better idea of what you might need.
There are tons of different seals available. It would really help if you could post photos of your setup and pinpoint where the leaks are happening. That way, we can offer more tailored advice!
Thanks for the tip! I’ll look for those gaskets, and I’ll try to get a better pic up soon.
