you simply remove the handles and replace them so that the gravitational effect of them (i.e pushing them towards the floor) will wind them up, not down. it would take about 30 seconds to adjust each side

Stupid question but do the handles just yank off? I would rather put up with it dropping than trying to source two handles as I snapped them off using force with no skill

you pull the handle out, between the handle and the chrome surround is a little metal u clip that needs to be pulled out by a screwdriver, its a little fiddly if you've never done one, dead simple if you've done it before.

A change of handle position will make no difference as the handle is not weighted enough to create the desired effect. They are only plastic and very light. Sounds more like the top channel is not gripping the glass when closed shut.
