If so cut them down so the shelf isn't so deep and put them in the right hole to make them level.

The silicone will be fine. I would leave the doors open and nothing in it for a week or so. It cures to the touch in hours but will continue to cure for up to weeks depending on how thick a bead you use. Only use what you need (thickness).

Weatherstrip tape is what you need for the doors. Any home improvement store sells it in the same area as the screen material and winterizing supplies.

If you need help with the shelf's let me know

PS nice find

I was hoping you would jump in about the silicone. Thanks bro, that eases my mind.

The shelves are one piece and are completely removable. There is a small metal bracket that sits in the holes and the front of the shelf rests on that and the back of the shelf just leans on the back so I would need to figure out a way to hold the back in as well. Maybe just a little L bracket...

As far as the doors go, the one on the right is OK as that one has the "fluffy stuff" on the back out it that seals it against the right side door. The seal that I am worried about with the right side door is where it meets the right side of the track. It pops away from the side with the slightest touch. The weather stripping would help with that seal but what I really need is a way to keep the right side door from opening, some kind of latch. (I don't know if any of that makes sense.

If you need some help with the shelf's, let me know. If you give me the depth and send them to me I can take them apart and rebuild them for you to the right depth.

The latch at the bottom of the doors looks like a standard glass door latch, fiddle with it and see if you can adjust it. Some have a way to take out the slack to make them tight. If not I will look at work and see if we have any laying around.

The latch is only a lock. And I don't have a key. I accidentally locked it while I was moving it and had to break into it with a screwdriver. Twice.

Thanks for all the advice Chuck. Like I said, if I can get this thing holding RH well I will look into a better shelf system and you will be the first stop.
