Hello! This is in between all my shower doors and we just bought the house. Unfortunately this lining is yellow and moldy. So I need to replace somehow. I have tried removing it but it won't budge. Please help!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @jess9. It's splendid to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about replacing a shower seal.
What you’re seeing there is most likely a C-channel gasket that slips over the edge of the glass before the panel is installed into the frame. That means it’s not a simple push-in seal that can be pulled out and replaced, it’s effectively sandwiched in place when the shower was assembled. To remove it properly, you’d need to take out the whole glass panel from the frame, which is a fairly involved job and even then, sourcing a matching seal can be tricky, as they’re often proprietary to the brand and frame system.
If you’re not keen to dismantle the shower (which is understandable), the next best option is more of a cosmetic fix. You can run a neat bead of white wet-area silicone along the length of the gasket. This will cover the yellowed section, seal against further water ingress, and freshen up the look. Just make sure to clean and dry the existing seal thoroughly, and smooth the bead neatly with a silicone tool or even a damp finger.
It won’t be quite the same as a brand-new gasket, but it’s a practical way to tidy things up without the hassle of removing panels.
A quick word of caution: glass panels can shatter unexpectedly if knocked or stressed, so take care when working around them. It’s best to wear safety glasses, cut-resistant gloves, a long-sleeve shirt, trousers, and enclosed footwear to protect yourself just in case.
