old furnature question about sliding cabinet doors - Beyond Tiki

The cabinet has sliding glass doors in front of the shelves and they are really hard to slide. They fit into a groove on the top and bottom and are supposed to glide along. There are no rollers or any hardware, nor is there anything stuck in the groove to prevent movement. How can I get them to slide more easily? is there a wax or polish I can use? Also I do not see any way to remove the glass from the cabinet. I am literally tugging at them with all of my might to get them open to add new mugs to my cabinet. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
