How do you remove the third brake light?

I have a 2011 Countryman S with the rear spoiler. How do you access the third brake light lens? It looks like the trim has to come off from the inside but I see no screws to get to it. I'm stumped!

Grip and pull. Maybe use a plastic trim panel remover to pry it up. Pretty simple as I recall.

tried prying it off but something seems to be holding it. The trim pieces fits over another trim piece they may snap together.

Thanks guys! Mini was right it just pulls off. You just need to gently pull from the side resting on the glass and it pops right off.
