Trying to remove shower screen.

[shazboz]

So I have been trying to figure out the best way to remove this glass shower screen, it has started to wobble cause the kids have decided its the handle to get in and out.

What is the easiest way to remove the silicone bonding the metal to the tile? Its all the way around. I've tried to get a blade down but the gap gets very narrow.

Will heating it work or any solvent suggestions?

Oh and hi new poster here! Nice to meet yas.

no heat and no solvent will do any good. Careful knife work is the only way.

You can try a cable saw but it might mark the tile a bit. Maybe try a string saw.

Take all the screws out then cut the silicone with a razor

Thank you for the responses I have the day off tomorrow so I'll give these ideas a go!!

I just did this. Sharp razor and careful work.

There are silicone solvents, I’ve used them but mostly for cleanup, not the basic removal. They do work well, and I keep a bottle around.
