Shower door disintegrated in 2016 3711 FL

Has anyone else ever had the glass in the tri-pass sliding shower door replaced. Got to my camping location on Friday after a one hour drive and found that one of the shower doors had broken. Tempered glass so it was in a million little pieces all over the bathroom and shower floor. Seems the little plastic mechanism used to latch the door fell apart allowing the doors to slide. It was latched before we left but must not have noticed that it was loose. (the latch assy was in three separate pieces which is how it is made, Seems the threaded retainer loosens until it came apart) Looked at buying a new shower door assy but the price was almost $800 with shipping. Going to try and just get the glass replaced if I can find something close. I saved all of the hardware. You can bet I will come up with a better way to secure the door. My advice, check that cheap little latching mechanism to save yourself a big headache. I am out of warranty so don't plan to ask for repair.
