Unable to remove sliding glass door panel

Question

I need to replace the rollers on my sliding glass door, but am unable to remove the operational panel. There is some sort of clip at the top that prevents the panel from being lifted, so I can't lift the panel to disengage it from the lower track. I tried prying gently on the piece, but only succeded in cracking the clip. Any ideas??
Thanks

It appears that you will need to remove your fixed door panel to access the clip at the top of the sliding door. Try removing the fixed panel clips and sliding the stationary door over to the one side of the frame and the sliding door to the other side to expose the clip. That way you can see what is keeping the clip at the top.

Take note that in some cases you might be able to remove the sliding door panel off from the inside of the house, but most of the time both doors will need to be removed on the outside of the frame.
