Anderson Frenchwood 400 patio slider - removing sliding door

Hi,

I need to replace the weather stripping piece on the bottom of the moving door.

I thought I would just need to remove the wood piece at the top of the door which holds the door from falling out, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to remove that piece.

First, it looks like that piece is made of wood and some kind of plastic - this whole thing needs to come out, correct?

Second, there is another trim piece which I think may be partially covering the door stop piece, so somehow that door stop piece needs to slide down a bit to pull it out. Does that make sense?

I painted the door several years ago and I'm wondering if the paint is not allowing me to pull the piece down and out. I have used a knife to try to break the seal, but that didn't allow me to pull it down/out. I'm afraid I may break something by pulling too hard!

Suggestions?

Thanks!
