How do you remove glass shower doors and railings on a bath tub?

I need to remove the two sliding glass doors (they ride on wheels on the top) and, if possible, the metal railings on the top,bottom, and sides. I have noticed the railings and support bars have a gummy glue-like substance, which I assume is to help seal it and keep it in place.





This is to make it easier to give my baby a bath in the tub. I don't need the doors for now.





Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.How do you remove glass shower doors and railings on a bath tub?
The glass doors ride on wheels in a track on the top rails. They are removed typically by holding onto the door and then lifting the wheels out of the track and the doors come off. Sometimes they are just riding in a track and you can lift them straight up and out, and sometimes there are smaller holes in the track that you have to line the wheels up with in order to get them out. If you take off the doors you might not have to take off the rails if it is OK with the rails in place (and then you can put the doors back when the baby grows up!)





Once you take the doors off then you can see how the rails are affixed to the tub/wall. Typically there will be screws on the end of the rail that extend into the wall (typically the bottom rail isn't screwed into the tub). Take the screws out. The top rail should come off pretty much when you take out the screws. The bottom rail also has silicone sealant on it. You can carefully cut away the biggest parts of the silicone to get the bottom rail off. Then you can carefully scrape off the remaining silicone.





Hope this helps. All in all not a difficult job, although tedious getting the silicone sealant off.How do you remove glass shower doors and railings on a bath tub?
