changing tail light

How do I get to the tail light?
The manual says to remove the trunk fitting by turning the hooks for the net. But it doesn't come off.
I don't want to book a service just to get a tail light replaced.
And I don't want an independent service garage to smash my trunk.
Thanks

There is a little notch on the trunk net hook between the upper and base part. You can get a screwdriver under that and pop out the top part. The base part will just fall out. I think there is two on each side you have to do. Hope this helps.

You dont turn the hooks, remove the hooks and then lift the top cap off with a screwdriver and then pull the whole clip out.
