Yep; what ya got there is a POS!!!
I wouldn't wish that thing on anybody. If its not set perfectly plumb&square you're bound to have a problem. And as mentioned previously certain caulks WILL NOT seal to ABS.
I've attached a picture so you can see my difficulties in trying to caulk. Any recommendations on type of caulk to use with the ABS? The problem spot is right down there in the corner of the shower.
I'll try caulking again - but it was already caulked inside by the person who installed it and still leaked.
Dig out the existing caulk, it's not working anyway. Recaulk with some really good stuff. Probably not the tub and tile stuff, maybe some Boatlife Marine caulk. I think I'm going to have to use that myself.

That's a mess and on the outside. Have to caulk where the water is, that's on the inside...
Dang, after reading the reviews on the link I posted (I was at work and just grabbed the link) I'm terrified to use the darn thing. The "mess" is because I'm trying, after the fact, to squeeze a damn caulk gun or tube of caulk into the space to get a consistent bead of caulk. There's already caulk that looks pretty solid on the inside. I'm thinking I'd be better off using the main bathroom downstairs and saving up my money to have something better installed by a plumber a few months down the road.
Having a similar issue. We had a plumber come out because we thought it was a pipe leaking but he said we probably need to take the frame off and reinstall. Does that sound right? We are semi-handy, is this a DIY job? How do you know if it's the frame or the pan?
