I just bought an interior LED lighting kit (I can't help myself, I love LEDs!). I have replaced all 3 x dome bulbs, 2 x visor bulbs, rear dome bulb, and 2 x door bulbs. All were easy to do with the supplied plastic trim removal tool. However, I am having a real issue with the light cover in the boot. It's the only one mounted in 'metal', and no amount of aggravation from the plastic tool will pull it out. My next step is to use a metal screwdriver, but experience tells me this will simply break the plastic cover. Anyone got any top tips to get this pesky bulb cover out without breaking it?

Great kit, every bulb labelled for ease of ID

Must confess that the breakthrough came when I stumbled across this photo showing the 2 x retaining tabs at one side of the lens. (I was messing about the lens middle). Gave me the confidence to press on them quite heavily with a large flathead whilst wiggling the lens to freedom!
