Removing High Mount Brake Light 87 300D?

Can anyone point to a thread, or provide info on, removing the high mount third brake light in the rear windshield on an 87 300D?

Need to remove mine for 2 reasons - first, to finish removing the cheap window tint film one of the PO's applied to the rear windshield. Second, due to age, when I removed the rear cover to check the bulb and get an idea how to remove it, 2 or 3 big chunks broke out of the body and I need to glue it back together.

These are well known for crumbling in youir hands. Just gently cup it by the sides with both hands and pull back. Your chances of success are miniscule. Good luck.
