remove metal strip on glass shower screen

Hi All

I want to remove a metal strip that I believe is glued (say manufacturer) to a clear glass shower screen (toughened 8mm glass) along the longest edge - it looks ugly and I want to replace it with a white plastic strip.

Is there any way of removing this metal strip or would removal break the glass?

Rgds., Tom

Acetone might work and if it doesn't it will evaporate without damaging anything.

Unless it is laminated glass, acetone may dissolve lamination along edge.

Thanks for the replies - I'm reasonably sure that its not a glass with laminate but I wonder how strong the glue is likely to be and how the metal would come off it first.

I presume that breaking toughened glass is pretty difficult ?

Has anyone attempted such a thing or will I be the first?

If you damage the 'edge' toughened glass is very likely to shatter. It's only strong against the faces.

Except at the corners - um?

Would it be easier just spray it white?
