Roller on Shower Door
I have a roller that came off the top rail of a three piece glass shower door. I have the screw and the roller. Thought it would be a simple fix, the roller has a hole in the center, just put the roller back in the track, line up the hole in the door frame to the hole on the roller and tighten.
Not so easy. The aluminum cap that runs the length of the shower has a front and back face that blocks me from using a nut driver to tighten the screw (7mm nut head, not a Robertson head screw). I can't fit my socket in the tight space. I think the roller track is mounted to the inside of this cap.
Question is, how has anyone accessed the roller screws to tighten them?2017 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7L PowerStroke DRW

I have a similar issue in my Reflection 337. The middle door has a roller screw that’s backed out and causing issue with opening door all the way. My roller screw looks to be a Phillips head. Being it’s still partially attached I think I can get a needle nose pliers to grab the head and turn it in assuming the roller won’t rotate when I try to turn it. I’ll attack it later this week when I get home.

Hello. I believe I had the same issue with our 337rl shower doors. Our shower door with a screw backing out on the roller was causing the door to hang up. To tighten the screw I removed the two screws holding the top rail that the rollers ride in and carefully lifted the railing up, the doors come with it. Then slid the door out of the track and tightened the screw plus checked the other screws also. Put the door back in the upper track and set it back on the wall braces that hold the top track up and installed the two screws. I also put a little caulk like the top rail had when I took things apart. Remember when reinstalling the top track line the doors in the bottom door track guides. It took about twenty minutes and two people is best, it’s heavy and a little clumsy. Also the nob on the glass door that the lock arm hooks to may come loose I just turn the nob by hand until it’s tight when it’s loose. Easy job just be careful. Jim (checkmate)

Thanks to all, sounds like I will need to lift the cap with the railing and the doors. Was hoping to avoid having to lift the doors out, unfortunately, i could not get at it with an open end wrench either.
Thanks to all for the feedback.2017 Ford F350 Platinum 6.7L PowerStroke DRW

Just to confirm. I just got around to fixing this, and this is EXACTLY what I did. I don't think it would have been possible any other way. All four (I think there were four) of my rollers needed tightening. I did it solo, and it was a bit awkward, especially getting it back in place. As you said, less than a 30 minute job, including the 5 minutes it took me to wipe down my greasy hand prints after doing the job.

I actually removed both doors and installed a shower curtain. I was surprised how heavy those doors were considering the RV industries penchant for building rigs as light as possible. Seems like they cpukd of used lexan panels in lieu of glass for the surround.

While we're talking about it...does anyone know the manufacturer of the three piece shower door? The short black plastic track at the top of the center door has broken and I can't find a source for parts. I rather like the glass shower doors and would like to keep them.
Safe Travels.

On our 2018 Reflection 337 the manufacturer is Frontline Manufacturing. Ours are a three door system also. Your could be a different model. Maybe ask GD for the company name if they’ll give it out. Just a thought. Good luck. Jim (checkmate)
