I recently installed a corner shower unit and followed the directions exactly as written. My shower now has water getting under the door track and leaking out from under the caulk on the outside of the door track. I have recaulked twice already. Both times I used caulk with less than the amount of silicon the instructions suggested. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated? :)

Check the ends of the track where the vertical track meets the horizontal bottom track.Caulk here good. Make sure you didn't caulk the weep holes on the inside if you don't have the easy clean slanted track on the bottom Recaulk inside and out if necessary. Can't leak if the water can't get in
