Take the 2 screws off the back where the stainless trim attaches, then use a block of wood and rubber hammer to knock the bottom track off.

Thank you Charles, is there a need to apply any adhesive to the glass when you tap it back in with the rubber hammer,  chuck.

no adhesive used there. use glass setting tape instead. npd carries it. also may be available to you locally at a glass shop.

Yes, definitely use some new glass setting tape as Fred recommended.  Keep in mind that there are different sizes of setting tape.  You should be able to measure the original to get an idea of what you need.
