Removing tail light covers on Coleman Taos

Hello:

I have a burned out light on my Coleman Taos. The light covers on the back
of the Taos appear to be attached by two clips, one on each side. I have
tried depressing these clips with my fingers, but they don't seem to release
the light cover. I don't want to force it, so I wonder if anyone has
experience doing this and might be able to detail exactly how to remove
these light covers?

Thanks!

Depress one tab at-a-time.  While holding-in the tab, pull out the lens
slightly so that the tab doesn't re-seat.

While holding the released end out slightly, repeat the procedure on the other
end of the lens and it should pull off completely.  Good luck!

Dear Mr. Redelfs:

Thanks! Your advice worked, though, in the end it took quite a bit tug to
get it loose, and the lens cap ended up flying across the garage! Alls well
that ends well...

Cheers!
Fred

Next time, try using a screwdriver to push in the tab.  Not sure how those
are, but the ones on my travel trailer pretty much require something to push
in the tab a little further than my finger can manage.  Then do one side at
a time as Jim suggested...
