    Looks like it riveted in place.
    You'll need to drill them out in that case.

    Those are pop rivits holding it in place, looks like an aluminium patio door. 4.8mm drill bit, drill straight through the centre of the rivet, carefully! There is not much depth in those midrails.

    Presume you checked the other side? Usually there's a bolt that goes all the way through.
