Dome light lens removal?

Any tips on removing dome light lens to replace bulb. Don't want to chew up the plastic trim. Owners manual has nada! Thanks.

butter knife or a plastic trim removal tool. It pops right out once you get a side going.

Just be careful not to force it. Start from the drivers side and work each corner side.

I put some painters tape on the surrounding trim around the lens (that you will be prying against) to protect it, just in case....
