10-325 Vinyl is Sliding Out

We've installed one of these in our shower door and are finding that the vinyl sweep keeps sliding out of the end of the channel. Once it is out by about 3/4ths of an inch the door no longer closes and I have to slide the sweep back into the drip rail.

How can I keep the sweep in place within the drip rail?

Thank you for reaching out to us. What I suggest is to take a set of pliers and "pinch" the end channel to keep the vinyl strip in place. I hope this helps.

Thank you for the quick reply. I considered that, but was worried that I might not longer be able to replace the strip. Instead I installed a stainless steel #8x1/4 inch pan head sheetmetal screw in each end. So far so good.
