Shower Door Glide

Question

Need to remove shower door glide as its back channel "walls" are too high to remove the back panel by pushing the to rollers up and  out of their track. There are no screws or other visible fasteners in the glide, save for a minuscule round marking on the top, shown in attached images. It seems no more than a mark. The image shows what appears as an indentation, but it's so slight I can't fathom how it might work...it's way, way too shallow for an allen wrench or any other device of which I'm aware. To the naked eye without this blowup image,  it looks like it's only a mark without any functionality.I wonder if the caulking can be removed to slide the guide along the bottom piece of the door housing, but think it peculiar the guide is only meant to be held in place by caulk. Wiggling the guide, however it does seem separate from the housing as if, if loosened, it might slide away. Net, I see no visible way to remove the guide and can't get the one door out with it in place.See no brand name on the shower using anywhere.

Hello,

I have a similar center track guide on my Kohler shower doors at home. To remove my center guide, I needed to "lift" up a vinyl strip that runs along the inside of the track to expose the set screw that attaches the guide to the bottom track. The chrome piece at the bottom inside of your track might lift or clip off to expose the set screw but I can't be sure and I don't want you to accidentally damage your shower door track.

The installer left a booklet with me when the door was installed. See if you can find the installation booklet for your door. Also, check the corners of the tempered glass doors to see if the name of the door manufacturer is etched into the glass. You may want to check with a local glass shop or shower door company in your area to see if they are familiar with your brand of shower door.
