shower opening trim

[btexpress]

Does anyone know where I might find the plastic U channel that goes around the shower door opening. It is approximately 1" wide and off white. Mine wants to pull away from the shower wall leaving a gap for water intrusion.

I've seen posts in the past, and I don't think anyone has found the exact one. People have mentioned some that "work" though.

But, if you have the trim and it fits, I would re-secure it if it were me. New trim would also have to be secured so it's nothing extra to do. Perhaps the adhesive originally used has dried out or was meager to begin with. If it's all the way off, you might consider treating the exposed ends of the MDF. There's no real "cure" for MDF/water, but you can assist. OTOH, depending on what adhesive you use that could do double duty and effectively seal off what's behind the trim.

Thanks for the input. It seems the shower wall thickness bows out in the area where the door closure is mounted pushing the molding away. I've tried screws and adhesive but the wall core isn't solid enough to hold. I would like to find U channel with more flexibility and wider sides to compensate for shower wall issue.

btexpress, do a topic search for "shower door trim". Lots of good info here.

This is what most have used for a replacement part.
The brand name of the product is CeilingMax Acoustic Ceiling wall bracket (part number 150-008). It's made of white PVC.

I found mine at a local Menard's home improvement store for about $4. If not Menard's, you may have better luck ordering the part from Amazon. About $5 plus $10 shipping.

Looks like it should work. Amazon no longer carries it. It can be ordered through Menards. I ordered a few pieces at diydccorstore.com
phone # 844 407-2853. They are located in Wis.
Thanks again for the info.

My apologies because I thought I remembered no-one being able to find it. Thanks for correcting me, Hoosier!

I just received the ceiling Max molding and it works great. One side is a bit wider than the other but you can have the wider side facing in or out. A special thanks to HOOSIER B from any of us needing this shower door opening fix.

Well cool. I'm glad my misinformation didn't mess things up. Thanks, Hoosier!

(I guess now I can stop treating my unbroken shower trim like it's irreplaceable gold )

Here's a few pictures of the ceiling max wall bracket material I used for the shower door opening as well as a handy way of keeping the shower door open.

This is great info! I need something like this for the lower trim, since when this rig leaked, the MDF swelled and basically pushed the trim off. I need something a little wider as a temporary measure before I have that area replaced by a carpenter I've been talking with.
