      Yep! It’s a fairly easy process. Here’s a general breakdown of the steps:

      Tools You May Need:

      • Screwdriver (usually Phillips)
      • Utility knife (to cut sealant if needed)
      • Putty scraper or plastic scraper

      General Steps:

      1. Remove the Door Panels: Open the doors and lift them up off the bottom track. Some models require you to unscrew a top stopper or guide.
      2. Unscrew the Frame: The metal frame around the shower is usually held in place with screws. Unscrew all visible fasteners along the side rails and bottom track.
      3. Cut Any Sealant: Use a utility knife to score any silicone or adhesive holding the frame to the shower wall.
      4. Pull Off the Frame: Carefully pry the frame off. Use a plastic scraper to avoid damaging the shower walls.
      5. Clean the Area: Remove leftover caulk or residue with a cleaner and scraper.
