Default Bath Screen Hinge Leaking

Have just fitted a Bath Screen of the type with a fixed glass panel and
a hinged screen. The hinges are top and bottom with a seal running the
height of hinged section.

The hinges are essentiall cups fitted to the top and bottom of the fixed
section into witch a matching piece with a spigot on the hinged section
fits.

A PDF of the only instructions that came with it is he

The problem is that whilst everything else is sealed water from the
shower can get into the hinge around the cup and out the other side.
This is not just a dribble but a veritable spray if the shower is in the
right direction.

My gut feeling is that there should be some form of seal in the hinge,
perhaps an O ring of sorts although there is no evidence of a groove for
this.

Does anyone have any experience of this type of screen. Do they work and
if so what stop the water getting through?

Andrew
