Measure the broken piece and make sure it's exact, use some thin piano wire or guitar string to break the silicone seal on either side. After you have the broken piece off clean the old silicone off with a single edge razor and then go over it with acetone a couple of times making sure the silicone is completely off.
Hopefully you would have ordered your replacement glass piece and head over to HD or Lowes and get several tubes of silicone w/o the mildew resistant stuff in it.
have fun

Great advice Charles, hopefully you snap a few pics while doing this.
