Estate High Level Brake Light

I'm trying to remove the tailgate high level brake light but can figure out how it comes off.
I've removed all eight screws from the internal plastic window surround and pulled it free of the clips but it's still trapped behind the high level brake light.
I've taken the brake light cover off and removed the bar holding the bulbs but still can't see any sort of clip or fastener to remove it.
I didn't try too pull too hard in case there was a 'trick' or hidden release mechanism to get it off.
Any tips would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Steve

You need to use a small thin screw driver to insert into the small hole at the front of light cluster. There should be a small rubber grommet in the hole see HERE which might help.

Still can't figure out how to get the light holder off.
Here's a photo of it as it stands.
It won't move up/down/left/right or pull off.
I can't see a grommet either.

Solved. I pushed a screwdriver in the rectangular holes to the side of the copper contacts and that released the cover to slide down.
