The glass doors ride on wheels in a track on the top rails.

order to get them out. If you take off the doors you might not have to  
take off the rails if it is OK with the rails in place (and then you can  
put the doors back when the baby grows up!)  
 
Once you take the doors off then you can see how the rails are affixed to  
the tub/wall. Typically there will be screws on the end of the rail that  
extend into the wall (typically the bottom rail isn't screwed into the  
tub). Take the screws out. The top rail should come off pretty much when  
you take out the screws. The bottom rail also has silicone sealant on it.  
You can carefully cut away the biggest parts of the silicone to get the  
bottom rail off. Then you can carefully scrape off the remaining silicone.  
 
Hope this helps. All in all not a difficult job, although tedious getting  
the silicone sealant off.
