Hi all. Has anybody ever experienced the middle leg of a shower base that stands on legs (such as the one in the pic) winding in over time, and therefore getting gradually shorter? If so, could that be because the yellow screw-in foot foot has not been screwed into the floor, so can rotate back? Could that rotating back/winding in be caused by the weight of the person getting in and out of the shower very gradually causing the foot to wind in? And if that were to start happening, is there anything to stop it doing so, such that the base of the shower is gradually flexed downwards as the person gets in the shower? And could that flexing downwards eventually cause the tiling around the base of the shower to be pulled downwards a fraction of a millimetre - very small gaps but enough to allow water to leak out of the shower? Your thoughts please.

More likely the threads in the leg arnt very good and it’s jumping past each thread when someone is in the shower as I can’t see how it would gradually undo as people use / get out etc
