Topic: Shower Wall Panel Re-attachment Posted: 17 Feb 2020 at 6:41pm |
Hello, I noticed on the top portion of our shower wall near the door hinge a section has come loose and needs to be re-adhered and caulked. I pushed on it and it stuck again for a few minutes then came loose again, leading me to believe they don't really glue it on that well.
Has anyone repaired a loose shower wall panel? I saw a Youtube video where the same thing happened and they used double-sided tape to secure the panel back down. Has anyone done this repair and what did you use? I wonder what FR uses to secure the shower panels to the walls... |

And they use plastic rivets as well.

Excellent, thanks for the information. I see the plastic rivets there and in my case if you push the panel back to the wall it sticks for a minute then comes loose again, so you can tell it's some sort of glue. I suspected the double-sided tape or a contact cement. I have the Gorilla glue clear tape I will try that and see how it goes.

I had the same problem in my 177 and in the same place, added more plastic rivets in those areas, also applied clear silicone sealant, and it's good now. In some areas, I had to drill a hole into the wood. The rivet still works fine. Yes, it's double sided tape they use. Ordered from Amazon:
AP Products 013-140 1" White Plastic Rivet
