those are usually there for a reason, they don't waste the glass and labor for no reason...

your best bet is to silicone another piece over the top of it or take that one out and put another piece in its place

+1 above, just silicone another piece to it, it'll be the easiest way. I've taken them completely off in the past and replaced the whole thing, I had no problems with that but I've heard that some people have had issues with it. So I personally would silicone another piece to it. Good luck!
