Default High mount tail lamp (third brake light) removal

Was wondering how to remove the lens of the third brake light to replace the bulb. I unscrewed the two screws on the outside but it won't budge. Wondering if there are more screws or how to go about pulling off the lens without braking any tabs..(no pun)

It should pop loose after you remove those screws. The gasket is just stuck. Just get a flat screwdriver behind it and you should be able to get it free.
