Hello :)

I've fitted a 4 section folding shower screen. Got it all nicely fitted and looking nice. Sprayed the shower directly onto it and there is water leaking from the section where the screen folds.
Before I go through the hassle of taking it down to return it.... is there any type of silicone sealant thats very flexible, as in one that allows it to be bent or stretched through a fold back on itself?

there is a flexible rubber strip that slots into a channel on the metal parts but when bridging the gap where the folding mechanism is, there isn't and channel pulling the seal tight to the bottom of the screen. This is where the water leaks out.

Sealant wouldnt work imo, you would need a tight fitting rubber seal which may be difficult to procure. Leaking showers are an absolute pain, so take it back if you can get a refund.
